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.

• 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
