A dad has set up a football team which aims to 'act as a support group' for men who have experienced baby loss
A Nottinghamshire dad has set up a football team which aims to "act as a support group" for men who have experienced baby loss. Raj Chagger, of West Bridgford, started Sands FC Nottingham in January, just over two years after the death of his son, Riaan.
One night, his dad found Riaan in his cot with foam coming from his mouth. "He got rushed into hospital and they tried to resuscitate him but they weren't successful," he said. "For a long time we didn't leave the house as we didn't have the energy to do anything. Everything we do now we do it in his name."
Sands United is a national project set up by baby loss charity Sands, which allows people to set up their own localised teams with the aim of using sport to help cope with grief. "It's so other dads have somewhere to go if they need it. The football is secondary, it's a support group first," said Mr Chagger.
