Our research

Tommy’s is the leading charity carrying out research into pregnancy loss and premature birth in the UK. 

Thanks to our supporters we are able to carry out more than £2m worth of ground-breaking research every year in 4 centres across the UK, into the causes of miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth, and to improve maternity outcomes for women and birthing people. 

Our world-leading research is finding the causes of and treatments for pregnancy complications, and help to save more babies' lives. But pregnancy loss and prematurity still cause heartbreak for millions of families every year. We exist to change that. 

Through our network of expert researchers, doctors and midwives working across our research centres, we're making breakthroughs all the time. Together, with the strength of our community, we're saving babies' lives.
