Politicians are a key target audience for the Why17? campaign. With their support, we can put more pressure on government and local health service providers to make stillbirth and neonatal death a health priority.

Over the coming months, members of the Sands management team are meeting with MPs, Peers and Department of Health officials to brief them on the key issues and to encourage MPs specifically to become champions for our cause as a Sands Parliamentarian. We are also taking the message direct to the devolved administrations in Wales, scotland and Northern Ireland

However, we need to keep up the pressure on Parliament and politicians listen to their constituents and are interested in hearing from you too! They are more likely to be receptive to the arguments that we will be putting to them if constituents like you have also raised the same issues.

Please support the Why17? campaign by contacting your local MP, MSP, AM or MLA

Whether you simply want to write to them or to arrange a face-to-face meeting to brief them about the campaign, or ask them to be an active champion for our cause through becoming a Sands Parliamentarian, we need your help!
