Interested in setting up a support group for bereaved parents in north/north-east London?

[AtterySquash]

Would you like to help set up a new SANDS (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society) support group in the Islington/Hackney/Waltham Forest area (maybe beyond)?
We're three mums who have just completed the befriender training programme and are keen to establish a much-needed local group.
Please do get in touch if you'd like to get involved.

What a brilliant idea.
There is absolutely no support for bereaved parents in my area(Winchester, Hampshire).
Since losing my 19 month old Dd the only support i get is from the Compassionate friends internet chatrooms!!
Maybe one day i will start up my own supoort group at least then future parents who lose children aren't left to cope alone like i have.

Hope all goes well with the group.

I'm so very, very sorry to hear about your DD, Amyjade.

If you do ever decide to set up a support group I'm sure that SANDS would be happy to give some suggestions on how to go about it.

Thinking of you.

Hi Attery,

I live nearby so kep me posted on the group. It'd be good to have a mix group. I feel my husband needs as much support as I do but it's quite difficult for men to express themselves. It might help seeing other dads struggling.

I will do, Phanie.

We will be meeting in Clicia, Stoke Newington Church Street, London N16, at 7pm on Thursday 9 November to discuss setting up a SANDS group for north/north east London. If you are interested in helping to get the group going, please do join us.
