Sands Awareness Month

June is Sands Awareness Month, when we all work hard to increase awareness of stillbirth and neonatal death and the everlasting impact experienced when a precious baby dies during pregnancy, at birth or shortly afterwards.

This year Sands are encouraging everyone to help break the silence around stillbirth and neonatal death with their Finding the Words campaign.

If you want, you can get involved in many different ways:

• Watch and share the Finding The Words campaign video below:

• Share your story and post a short video using the #FindingTheWords hashtag on social media
• Follow Guernsey Sands on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn and re-share our posts throughout June
• Sign up to fundraising challenge Walk a Mile in My Shoes
• Put campaign poster up in a local church, pub, gym, café, shop, office or wherever would reach the most people
• Find out how to start a conversation with someone whose baby has died in our Family & Friends booklet
