Monthly Support Meeting

Our monthly support meetings, for bereaved parents, family and friends are facilitated by Sands trained Befrienders.  They are an opportunity to meet with others who have been through a similar experience.

We offer emotional support (with Sands trained Befrienders in attendance) to listen, help, guide and give comfort if your baby has died during pregnancy, at birth, or soon afterwards.

WHEN: The meetings take place on the third Monday of each month from 7.30pm to 9.30pm

WHERE: We meet at Leeds Roundhay Quaker Meeting House, Street Lane, Leeds, LS8 2BW

You don't have to book to attend.

The meeting room is at the rear of the building through the right-hand gate on Street Lane. There is no designated car park, but there is parking on Street Lane and in the surrounding residential streets.

We know how daunting it can feel to come along to your first support meeting and so you are welcome to bring along a partner, friend or family member to support you. 

If you would like to find out more before coming along to one of our meetings, please do not hesitate to contact us via email at Support.Leeds@sands.org.uk
