Impact Report


2020-2021

Download a PDF version of our report

Welcome

While last year’s Impact Report highlighted our initial response to COVID-19, this year’s reflects our strength and perseverance.

Like so many charities, the start of the pandemic presented Sands with a significant drop in income. This came at a time when we also saw an unprecedented increase in demand for our services.

Everyone at Sands did a fantastic job in improving maternity safety and in supporting anyone affected by the death of a baby, both bereaved families and those supporting them. They also met these organisational challenges with tenacity and a wonderful sense of shared purpose.

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped Sands continue working through this challenging year. Your support has made a difference when families needed us most.

To reduce the number of babies dying before, during and shortly after birth

Because of you We can support research to save and change lives

Research and prevention

Challenges in a pandemic
We supported over 25 research studies on the impact of COVID-19, including study design, participant recruitment, sourcing and sharing information. We shared parents' voices and made sure their experiences informed policy decisions. 

#BecauseOfYou
Much of the research we supported has increased understanding of how the pandemic and changes to the health system has impacted expectant and bereaved families. We shared key findings with decision makers to quickly adapt care, where and when needed.

"Research is one of the only ways we will get answers to why our baby died." Priya Bereaved mother

Tackling social issues
Babies should not be at higher risk of death simply because of their parents’ postcode, ethnicity or income. As part of our continued work to address these disparities, we have introduced Sands Insights Voices – a diverse involvement group – to shape Sands’ research, education and policy work.  

Stillbirth rates

Black and Black British babies are 2x more likely to be stillborn than white babies. Asian and Asian British babies are 1.6x more likely to be stillborn than white babies. Babies from the most deprived families are 1 . 7x more likely to be stillborn than the least deprived families. Up to 6 0 % of pregnant women who experience domestic abuse face increased risk of stillbirth and miscarriage.

"…it’s vital that more is done to find out why babies from minority ethnic and socio-economically deprived backgrounds are at higher risk of dying before, during, or shortly after birth. Clearly there is a complex mix of risk factors…" Ksavi Joshi Sands Ambassador

Sharing parents' voices
We shared parents' views in national forums and initiatives to address safety in maternity and neonatal care. This directly informs national policy across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. 

"Research is vital to finding new ways to reduce baby deaths. Sands’ commitment to strengthening UK perinatal research will directly lead to new discoveries and better care for women and their families." Dr Sarah Stock University of Edinburgh Sands Trustee

Public affairs and campaigns

Across the UK
Governments agreed to prioritise the re-establishment of maternity safety and bereavement care initiatives. Plus, guidance was issued setting out national standards of care. 

 

In England
After Sands highlighted the impact of the pandemic on maternity safety initiatives, NHS England established a new Early Warning Safety Surveillance Reporting Group. This group collates, logs and actions national safety concerns during the pandemic. 

 

In Scotland
The government created a maternity services recovery plan. We also submitted evidence to two Select Committee enquiries. Partners are now allowed to attend scans and maternity appointments in all Trusts or Boards.

#BecauseOfYou
Sands has helped improve the care and support families receive in hospital.

"Just one family having to go through what we did is too much, and day after day I’ve read of it happening to so many […] Keep up your amazing work and the awareness you continue to create. It is vital and a comfort for so many." Bereaved parent
#BecauseOfYou we can help so many families.

To ensure the right care and support is available at the right time after the death of a baby

1,393 professionals trained. 3,415 professionals supported monthly through our Bulletin. 98% of Trusts in England registered interest in the NBCP. 3,699 emails answered.
2,043 calls answered. 831 GriefChat conversations. 93,628 Sands Online Community visits. 1,700 private Facebook support group members.

Care in crisis

Sadly, there was a marked increase in demand for support. At times, we saw a 30% month-on-month increase during the pandemic. In the NHS, COVID-19 had an impact on both maternity and bereavement care. 

 Families, parents and mothers shared key concerns:

  • ​​​​Fewer appointments
  • Virtual appointments
  • Attending appointments and scans alone, particularly for those pregnant after loss
  • Receiving bad news alone
  • PPE affecting staff’s ability to give compassionate care

Our work grew in complexity due to a combination of reasons: the circumstances in which baby death occurred; significant pressures on the NHS and staff redeployment; increased isolation; other organisations signposting complex cases to Sands.  

The Sands’ staff and volunteers delivered exceptional support through the pandemic. Our guidance and expertise continued to be a lifeline for those navigating loss, even during these unprecedented circumstances. We helped to create guidance on compassionate care, supporting NHS staff to ease the impact of the pandemic on families coping with baby loss.

" Sands were truly wonderful and helped me get the correct support for this distraught family " We're here for you, so you can be there for them

#BecauseOfYou
UK maternity units and community services received:
• 2,693 Memory Boxes
• 7,916 Bereavement support books
• 10,179 Bereavement support packs

#BecauseOfYou We can train over 1500 professionals and students every year to better care for bereaved parents.

Moving Sands support groups online

371 active befrienders 

44 monthly online local support meetings

120 Black mothers shared their bereavement support experiences (in partnership with Black Mums Upfront)

The pandemic provided opportunities to develop other channels of support, like digital and social media. Providing support online allowed more people to access support meetings enabling those who would find it difficult to travel to or join meetings to do so in peer-led online spaces. 

Unsurprisingly, we saw increased demand for online support. We ramped up our presence on the channels where we were most needed: social media (e.g. private Facebook groups), GriefChat, e-mail, our community forum and our app.

When you need to talk to someone, it’s comforting to know they’ve been through it too. Our online community offers invaluable peer-to-peer support.   

"Befriending, to me, is using my pain and grief turning it into something positive and offering the same support we were offered to others. It helps me make sense of her death and gives it a purpose." Steven Guy bereaved father and Northern Ireland Coordinator

Sands held virtual and live streamed events, including North East London Sands’ Memorial Tree, Cardiff Sands' Baby Remembrance Service, Farnborough Sands' Wave of Light, Norfolk Sands' Bunting (community art project) and Manchester Sands' Still Parents Art Workshops. 

"I'm so glad it was you that took my call that day… I really don’t want to think where I’d be had I not had your patience, kindness and support and this safe place to express my thoughts and feelings... thank you." Bereaved parent

Even when we can return to face-to-face support, you’ll still find us online. Digital support is essential; making it easier for people to access, removing geographical barriers and giving people the chance to access whatever type of support best suits them.

Our Bereavement Support Book is now available in Urdu, Punjabi, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Bengali and Polish.

Seven Sands front covers in various languages.

Our groups and volunteers are integral to how Sands provides its services. We can't thank our volunteers and groups enough for their commitment and enthusiasm for supporting families around the UK. 

#BecauseOfYou 
Sands has embraced innovative ways to reach anyone in need of our support. 

Webinar training success

Launched in May 2020, we delivered Bereavement in the Workplace training webinars to UK national organisations.

Two people visit the NBCP Scotland website on a computer.

Our bespoke webinar training for health care professionals soon followed, launching in November 2020, delivering 10 tailored bereavement care programmes. Among our 1,393 students were: midwives, doctors, nurses, health visitors, mental health workers, funeral directors, social workers, chaplains, psychologists and schoolteachers. 

By moving online, our training was made available to more professionals, beyond hospitals and universities.  

We received fantastic feedback from healthcare professionals who attended the training and look forward to growing on this success in years to come.

National Bereavement Care Pathway (NBCP)

The NBCP works to improve the quality and consistency of NHS bereavement care offered to all parents following pregnancy loss or the death of a baby. To succeed, Trust cooperation is vital.  

We’re excited to have established four NHS Scotland Boards as 'early adopter' sites for the NBCP Scotland programme. We began to produce Scotland-specific guidance for healthcare professionals to support uptake of the pathway. 

Trusts in England in 20/21. 98% interested in signing up to the NBCP. 62% fully signed up. 128 delegates from 75 Trusts attended autumn workshops.
"For us the association with Sands is a strong symbol of our belief that parents are central to finding answers about stillbirth and our commitment to growing the role of parents in our future work." Professor Gordon Smith Head of Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology University of Cambridge Sands Ambassador

Support from Trusts and Foundations  

Several Trusts and Foundations helped Sands develop new bereavement support materials for children bereaved of a baby sibling.  

#BecauseOfYou 
Our free resource packs help children: 
• Explore their feelings and emotions 
• Understand the death of their sibling 
• Create memories of the baby 

#BecauseOfYou I can digitally enable our services.

To grow as one strong, sustainable and effective organisation

Adapting our strategy

With the cancellation of major fundraising events and activities, Sands faced an unprecedented dual challenge: potential income declining by 40%, demand in services increasing by 30%. 

Sands successfully navigated those challenging early months by pivoting our fundraising activities to digital virtual fundraising events and securing crucial COVID-19 related emergency funding. 

Our wonderful community rallied to support Sands during this particularly difficult time. 

£2.8 million raised through remote online fundraising campaigns

+12,000 supporters joined remote events

#BecauseOfYou my team can support more people every day.

Our virtual fundraising challenges had an incredible response, helping to raise desperately needed funds. 

So many Sands supporters told us how taking part in Sands fundraising events benefitted their own mental and physical wellbeing. It was fantastic to see fundraisers join our online fundraising groups to support each other and share advice. 

"What I never expected to help me – but really has – was signing up to run 50 Miles in March to raise money. [...] As the donations started coming in and I surpassed my £50 target in only a few hours, I started to believe in myself and my body once more. [...] People sharing their stories helped me to share ours. With the sharing, came more support. It felt amazing keeping Arthur’s memory alive, but what felt even better was that each and every step was for him, for us, our family." Leanne Bateson Bereaved mother

Virtual remembrance events

Two important events in the Sands calendar moved online so anyone that wanted to, could still be a part of them.

Garden Day Remembrance and Hope, June 2020, +1,800 viewers. Lights of Love, December 2020, +1,400 viewers.

Sands United Football Club

The number of Sands United teams continues to grow, with squads across Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. We welcomed teams from Bury St Edmunds, Derby, Dundee, Guildford, Hereford, Larne and Yeovil. 

This year, Sands United joined the Kick It Out equality charter to promote inclusivity and diversity in football. Individual teams are doing the same in recognition of the importance of Sands United and Sands’ desire to make our places of support both safe and inclusive. 

Three Sands United football teams have been recognised by the FA (Football Association) and McDonald’s Grassroots Football Awards for the difference they make to men affected by the death of a baby. 

News in the world of Sands United FC secured amazing media coverage throughout the year, including in a major BBC mental health film with the Duke of Cambridge. 

Here are some more highlights across the nation: 

 

Sands United Brighton & Hove

Turned their matches pink and blue during Baby Loss Awareness Week and hosted a fundraising golf day. They also raised an incredible £3,100 during October from challenges, raffles and various sponsored activities. 

#BecauseOfYou Sands United exists to provide men with a safe space to access support.

Sands United Salisbury

Secured a grant of £5,000 for Sands from the Belron Ronnie Lubner Charitable Foundation, to support the Sands' helpline among other areas.

 

Sands United Ashby

Organised a cycling challenge and took part in Challenge14. This featured a range of activities – from baby hat knitting and fundraising hampers to food bank donations. 

 

Sands United Stockport

Team Manager Joel Kelly raised an incredible £930 through a 24-hour Fortnite game stream. 

 

Sands United Cardiff

Stephen Doran continued his remarkable Miles in Memory challenge. As well as raising awareness, Stephen dedicated each run to the memory of one lost baby, carrying their name across his chest. 

Keeping spirits high
Football was among the many activities impacted by the pandemic. We supported more than 30 teams through the restrictions and set up a Facebook group to help bereaved men stay connected through those challenging times. Teams responded to the challenge, bringing in new risk assessments and making sure sessions could continue in some form. April’s Toilet Roll Trick Shot Challenge, started by Sands United FC’s official kit supplier MDH, brought a smile to everyone’s  faces.

 

Many teams embraced The 2.6 Challenge set up by the London Marathon. There was cycling, running and burpees and the Sands United teams raised over £5,000 between them. 

Thank you and congratulations to all our Sands United FC stars. Lost lives are honoured and grieving parents, especially dads, can know they are not alone.  

Our finances

Most of the fundraising that would take place in a normal year became impossible in 2020/21, but Sands adapted quickly. With the support of thousands of fundraisers together with emergency COVID-19 funding, we raised almost £6.4m, the largest amount ever received during Sands’ history. Of the entire income, 87% was received as direct donations or via fundraising activities and 13% was made up of grant income from Trusts and government sources... 


How we achieved this

Extraordinarily successful digital fundraising activity
Early adoption of new approaches to digital fundraising enabled us to connect supporters to innovative ways of supporting Sands. 

 

A record-breaking corporate fundraising performance
Sands benefitted from the most successful year to date for corporate partner support. We successfully partnered with 25 valuable new partners, including household names Marks & Spencer and NatWest Group. 

Exceptional trusts, foundations and statutory fundraising
An unprecedented 349 applications were submitted to Trusts and government funding sources resulting in Sands being awarded more than £800k to help us meet the increase in demand and continue our vital work. 

£983,000 spent on fundraising activities. That’s 15p in every pound received. For every £1 we spent on generating funds we raised an average of £6.48.

We kept key services running throughout the year, spending £2.6m on our vital work to save babies’ lives and support bereaved families.

£983,000 was spent on fundraising activities – that’s 15p in every pound received. For every £1 we spent on generating funds we raised an average of £6.48. This ground-breaking level of income also provided Sands with the financial resilience to maintain and build our activities, and further increase our impact through to 2022.

Split of income pie chart. Donations from supporters and Gift Aid 28 per cent. Government and statutory bodies 14 per cent. Training, membership and shop 2 per cent. Corporate Grants and Trusts 12 per cent. Fundraising events and activities 43 per cent .

To raise awareness of the issues relating to stillbirth and neonatal death

This year was a constant flow of national news stories – we knew our message had to successfully cut through, to reach the public stage. And so, our focus addressed the most pertinent issues identified by both parents and professionals: 

  • Sands Awareness Month 2020 Finding the Words focused on supporting the NHS so they could be there for families.
  • Baby Loss Awareness Week 2020 You are Not Alone focused on access to maternity appointments and scans.

In doing so, our messages resonated with the public's concerns. We generated unprecedented media coverage for our campaigns, helped raise vital awareness and encouraged thousands of people to act.

Being a go-to source 

Amidst ever changing regulations and growing fear, it was critical our website delivered reliable, clear, and up-to-date information for pregnant women.   

Adding COVID-19 news to the Safer Pregnancy website and sharing via third parties resulted in a 95% increase in traffic to the site, with 945,915 homepage views.  

Social media success

Facebook 106k likes (+7.82 per cent). LinkIn 2583 followers (+42.47 per cent). Twitter 20k followers (+9.96 per cent). Instagram 22k followers (+63.36 per cent).

We’ve seen a significant year-on-year increase across all our social media channels.  

We used social media to proactively offer our support to high profile parents who had spoken about the loss of their pregnancy or the death of their baby. This included: Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Danny Cipriani and Victoria Rose, Kirsty Leigh-Porter. Sands was mentioned as a source of support in Metro (1.4m daily circulation), The Sun (1.2m), and The Mail Online (34m unique monthly users). 

Reaching new audiences

As well as raising awareness of stillbirth and neonatal death, we need to make our work known as a charity. We reached more men through our online spaces, providing them with support and care.

Collaborating with Dope Black Mums, Dope Black Dads, Black Mums Upfront, and The Motherhood Group helped us raise awareness of Sands and its work within these communities, too. Plus, they help us better understand the needs of the Black community.

"People often ask ‘how is your wife’. That is nice and I am glad they want to talk but many dads and partners have whole conversations where their grief isn’t also acknowledged. I’m so glad Sands has ways dads and partners can support each other and express their feelings." Peter Byrom Bereaved father and Sands United Welfare Officer

Baby Loss Awareness Week

 

90 charities working together. 162 landmarks turned pink and blue. 751,000 Facebook reach. 638,000 Twitter reach. 32,500 NatWest Group virtual panel views. 2,250 emails sent to 580 MPs.

Led by Sands, Baby Loss Awareness Week continues to be a beacon of collaboration. All charities shared one united theme: #YouAreNotAlone. The week highlighted the impact of COVID-19 on bereaved parents and families, specifically the exclusion of partners from pregnancy, maternity and neonatal services. 
 
Nearly 5,000 emails urged MPs, MSPs, MSs and MLAs to contact their local health trust or board on behalf of all excluded partners. Every MP in England was contacted by at least one (nearly always more) of their constituents. The result? Nearly 275 responses from Trusts and Boards. 

"We want to enable our incredible supporters across the UK to volunteer in ways which work for them and have the most impact in their community." Jen Coates Director of Volunteering and Bereavement Support

Much of our activity focussed on what we could do from home. From family homes to national landmarks, buildings across the UK turned pink and blue. Our Facebook and Twitter activity saw significant growth compared to the previous year. And supporters brought the week’s theme to their local leaders’ attention.  

On social, our Facebook and Twitter reach were both significantly greater than the year before. Plus, the NatWest Group (sponsoring the week in partnership with Sands) daily virtual panel discussions reached nearly 33,000 views. 

Stop the press

A fictional newspaper reads: Stop the Press. More than half the population may have been touched by baby loss.

This striking YouGov result launched Baby Loss Awareness Week 2020. The significant statistic featured in 27 articles and interviews. That’s more national coverage than any previous year. 

Supporter highlights

Lessons learned

Research and Prevention

It’s a lesson we’ve always known, but this year showed how important it is for us to keep amplifying parents’ voices. It is vital for families’ experiences to be included in national discussions. We will continue to make sure parents’ views are shared and considered in decision making and policy development.  

Improving Bereavement Care

Collaboration is key to our work – as one of our values – and felt critical to our success this year. Each bereavement care service depends on the other; to be there for those in need, to do our jobs, to signpost at the right time. In a year when specialist services and NHS medical care was under immense strain, working as one united front helped more families in need.   

Bereavement Support Services

What once was ‘restrictive’, now presents possibilities. Campaigning and supporting from home has shown us that we must continue to take up opportunities online. We’ve seen how many more audiences we can reach by offering support services online, and how appreciated peer-led spaces are. We’re excited to see where this lesson takes us next. 

Income and Engagement

Innovation is key. When we adapt, we grow. Our extraordinary success adapting our fundraising and engagement to digital has helped set up a strong future. We’ve worked hard to maintain diverse income streams, and successfully cultivated new sponsors and partnerships. We continue to put our supporters at the heart of our fundraising. 

#BecauseOfYou parent voices inform our training and education

Thank you

To all the parents, professionals, government departments, parliamentarians, researchers, Royal Colleges and other organisations. Your invaluable support and advice drove our important work over the last year.
