We are the Manchester group of the national Sands baby loss charity.

We are all bereaved parents who support other bereaved parents in the Manchester area who have experienced baby loss, and we do so in a voluntary capacity.

​

We hold monthly evening meetings in-person and online.  Our in-person meetings are held in a community venue in Old Trafford and are hosted and run by volunteers. The meetings are informal and supportive, and all are welcome  - individuals, couples and affected family members - no matter when your bereavement occurred, whether recently or some time ago.

The meetings provide an often welcome opportunity to talk about and share your experiences and concerns with other individuals and couples who have perhaps experienced something similar - whether it's about what happened, how it happened, and how to cope. There is no  requirement to talk, and some come just to listen and to feel supported.

​

If you feel you would like some support, but can't face attending a meeting, please contact us and let us know what we can do to support you. We also offer support to individuals and couples.

​

We also have a remembrance page on our website and we send out remembrance cards on anniversary dates. 

​

If you would like more information about our meetings, the dates and venues or would like your baby or babies commemorated on our remembrance page and/or to receive a remembrance card,  please write to us, including your preferred method of being contacted, using the contact form.
