Aberdeen Sands Support Group

Aberdeen SANDS supports anyone who has been affected by the death of a baby before, during or shortly after birth.

Our monthly support meetings are friendly and relaxed and are an opportunity for bereaved parents and family members to meet with others who have been through a similar experience. We usually meet on the first Thursday of every month and we welcome those who are newly bereaved as well as those who have suffered a loss after some years have passed.

Attending a meeting is not for everyone so our helpline also offers confidential one-to one telephone support by an experienced Befriender and is available for parents, families and healthcare professionals. Our befrienders can also come and visit you in your own home or meet in a mutual venue. Befrienders are people whose baby has also died, so they know what you are going through.
