What we believe

We believe that parents need, and deserve, answers when their babies die. Tommy’s exists to answer these questions through funding ground-breaking research.

Right now, in the UK, 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss during pregnancy or birth and 53,000 babies are born too early every year. We’re here to change that.

Our vision is to stop the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss and make pregnancy and birth safe – for everyone.

To do this, we lead research and transform care. We provide expert information and support throughout the pregnancy journey. Working with communities and partners we challenge inequities and campaign for change to make pregnancy and birth safer for all.

Together, we save babies’ lives.
