Raising funds for vital research
An important part of our Why17? campaign, is to raise £3 million over the next 5 years, to develop and support projects that will lead to changes in practice that could save babies’ lives and fund research into the causes and prevention of stillbirths and neonatal deaths.
The number 17 will form the basis of the theme for the campaign and will feature in the many ways our supporters can get involved.
Fundraising ideas range from simply setting up a regular £17 monthly donation to swimming 17 lengths, from holding a coffee morning on the 17th day of the month to running 17 miles. To find out more about how you can help our fundraising campaign please follow the link.
Sands Patron, Matt Allwright, star of BBC’s Rogue Traders is a key supporter of the Why17? Campaign:
“This campaign is absolutely vital in raising awareness of stillbirth and neonatal death which devastates far too many families in the UK. Sands is urging the public to support their campaign and where they can pledge a donation. Any donations no matter how small will go towards funding research to try and prevent the loss of much loved and longed for babies.”
