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.

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

Half of adults in the UK are affected by pregnancy loss. Over 2500 babies are stillborn each year in the UK and 53,000 babies are born prematurely. We’re here to change that.

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 can save babies’ lives.
