The Black Country manufacturer of round, flat and profile wire has now spent £35,000 on backing local charities and causes close to their employees’ hearts and this latest funding boost was made after several workers wanted to pledge their support to Sands. With 13 babies a day stillborn or dying within four weeks of birth in the UK, the need for the charity has never been greater and the financial assistance will be used to support all of its work, including the operating costs of its free helpline, face-to-face bereavement support groups, working with healthcare professionals and cutting-edge research that will save more babies’ lives. So far, the Brierley Hill-based company has supported Mary Stevens Hospice, the Chris Westwood Charity for Children with Physical Disabilities, the Giving Hands Mission, Acorns Children’s Hospice, Santa’s Black Country Toy Appeal and Tough Enough to Care
