14.01.2022 Many people tell us that the connection they felt when they finally met another bereaved parent for the first time is like no other. The simple knowledge they've been 'there' too can instantly put you at ease. We can't promise you an instant new bestie, but we can offer the sense of comfort that comes from hearing someone else say 'me too'. Join us for an informal online chat with fellow bereaved parents for our 'Community Coffee' this Sun 7th June from 3pm....

05.01.2022 Bereaved families know that children grieve the loss of a brother or sister acutely, and that even children born after the loss of a baby can feel a deep connection with the missing sibling they never met. We want to do more to support the children in the Sands community, and so we're trialling a community playdate designed for preschoolers and primary-aged children to join in activities and get to know others who are also missing a special someone from their family. Due to C...OVID-19 our initial playdates will be virtual ones - taking place on the 5th, 9th and 18th of July. For more information and to register: https://www.sands.org.au/Event/community-playdate
