Vicki Culling & Stillbirth and Newborn Death Support / SANDs NZ

Vicky Culling will work for voluntary organisation SANDS New Zealand (Stillborn and Newborn Death Support) to strengthen their national network and project manage regional support groups for bereaved parents throughout New Zealand. As a parent personally affected by the tragic loss of her daughter, she knows from first hand experience the difference SANDS can make to someone's life.

"The possibility of someone working full-time for SANDS to do all the things we have only dreamt about is a real luxury. The year ahead is going to be busy and challenging, but ultimately it will make a difference to those families who will be faced with one of life's hardest encounters, the death of a much wanted and much loved baby," says Ms Culling.
