Welcome to Southampton Sands website.

If you are reading this site because your precious baby has died - Welcome - to the "group" that no-one would ever wish to join.

Who are we?

We are a group of parents whose precious babies have died. Some of our babies died recently and some a long time ago.

Southampton Sands (Stillbirth and Neo-Natal Death Charity) offers Monthly Support Meetings, Telephone Befriending, Newsletters, Resources and Information - and an understanding that no-one but another bereaved parent can truly understand the feelings of loss, despair and isolation.

We hope to bring together people who have suffered the tragedy of the death of their child to share information, help and support each other. Please feel free to make comments; your suggestions and input are encouraged. We want this site to help you, to be what you need.

Sands supports parents and families through the experience of losing a baby. We are part of a national charity (registration 299679). Sands head office is in London and there are local groups all over the country who are able to offer a variety of services to families who need support.

Southampton Sands covers Southampton, Winchester, New Forest and Eastleigh. We work closely with Princess Anne and Winchester hospitals.

We have monthly get-togethers where talking about the experience of losing your child is not a taboo subject. We have a small library of books, videos and other material which can be loaned.

We also have next pregnancy meetings, living with loss through the years and relatives meetings. Please click here for more details of the services we offer.
