We Are Here For You
North Herts Sands is a local group of volunteers, most of whom have experienced the loss of a baby. We were established over 20 years ago as a local branch of National Sands, which was founded in 1981.
We are here to support parents and families who have lost a baby, particularly during pregnancy, birth or shortly after birth. This includes miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR (termination for medical reasons) and neo-natal deaths. We are also working towards improvements in local care during pregnancy and when a baby dies.
We offer support through monthly meetings, telephone and email support and through our Facebook group. Those who attend the support meetings are all bereaved parents. We can also provide you with information and resources.
Please feel free to get in touch any time using any of the contact details on the left of this site. All of our services provided are free of charge.
Support meetings are normally held on the second Monday of every month at Great Ashby Community Centre in Stevenage. Please see our Support Meetings page for more details.
Join our facebook group for more information or contact our befrienders.
