Charity Sands celebrates 40 years of helping bereaved parents

Stillbirth and neonatal death charity Sands celebrated its 40th anniversary at Serpentine Green in Hampton.

Sally Boylan, chair of the Peterborough and Stamford Sands group, said: “Many members of our group are bereaved parents, so we know how devastating it is when a baby dies – whether recently or long ago.
