• Sands & Tommy’s Joint Policy Unit

    Together, the charities Sands & Tommy’s have formed a Joint Policy Unit. We are focussed on achieving policy change that will save more babies’ lives during pregnancy and the neonatal period and on tackling inequalities in loss, so that everyone can benefit from the best possible outcomes.

Our Mission

Our mission is to secure policy change that will reduce rates of miscarriage, stillbirth, pre-term birth and neonatal death, and to work to eliminate inequalities in these outcomes.
