We no longer feel that X is the right place to reach our community and will stop posting from today. We continue our work supporting bereaved families and saving babies’ lives and will still be posting on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Bluesky & Threads. sands.org.uk/support

Thank you to @FabianLeedsNE for voicing the concerns of bereaved families. It is significant to see @Keir_Starmer recognise the importance of listening to bereaved parents and working alongside them to deliver real change. We know that listening to parents helps save lives.

We are thinking of those who are missing a precious baby this Orthodox Christmas 💜🧡 Remember to do what is right for you, should that be taking part in celebrations, stepping back and having a quiet day 💜🧡 sands.org.uk/coping-christma… #BabyLoss #PregnancyLoss
