How we offer support?

We offer support by phone, email, facebook messenger and support groups. All our support services are run by a team of specially trained volunteer befrienders, who themselves, have also been affected by the loss of a baby. We aim to respond within 24-48 hours.

If you feel you need immediate support please contact national sands helpline on 0808 164 3332 or helpline@sands.org.uk .

Our main support group is held on a monthly basis which alternates between Tuesday or wednesday in Windsor, Berkshire. Please see our support page for meeting dates and times. 

Our Rainbow (pregnancy after loss) Group is currently not running. however please contact us via email or phone if you require pregnancy after loss support and one of our befrienders will be available to support you.

Details of support meetings and events can also be found on our facebook and instagram page.
