We are here to support any person affected by the death of a baby. We offer one-to-one befriending, telephone support and advice as well as regular group support meetings.


We work with people in Bedfordshire and surrounding areas and all of our services are provided free of charge by local volunteers - Beds SANDS receives no funding other than by donation.

Bedford Hospital Service


Bedford Hospital Remembrance Service is on Sunday 15th  April, at 3pm, at the chapel in Bedford Hospital. The service is for all who have experienced the death of a baby: at any stage during pregnancy, stillbirth or neonatal death. All are welcome. Afterwards, there will be a chance to have a coffee and a chat. Representatives from Bedfordshire Sands will be there.

BBQ and Walk


Bedfordshire Sands traditionally holds a summer BBQ and memorial walk. This year the BBQ will be on Sunday 15th July, from 1pm, at Mairi’s house in Silsoe. Further details will come soon.

Afternoon Tea!


Following the success of last years event, we are holding another sale.

There will be cakes galore and lots more at the Afternoon Tea on Sunday 6th May, at Transfiguration Church Hall in Kempston, MK42 8DW from 2-4.30pm. Come along, and bring your friends and family for the afternoon. There will be a cake bring and buy: bake and donate a cake, or come and buy a few to take home.

Bring your cakes along to the event, or drop them off in the morning at Sam's house (address can be provided upon request)

If you cannot come, perhaps you can donate a raffle prize?
