Oxfordshire Sands is a volunteer-led group dedicated to providing help and support for anyone affected by the death of a baby. We are a local branch of Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death charity), and cover the Oxfordshire region including the area covered by the John Radcliffe (Oxford) and Horton (Banbury) hospitals. See the page entitled Our Work for details of our services in and around these hospitals.

We hold informal group meetings once every two months in Bicester; see the top right of this page for details of the next meeting date and venue. We also host a number of awareness and fundraising events throughout the year. See the Events page for details of those coming up.
