Half of UK adults have experienced baby loss or know someone who has. Our research is here to change the story.
As the leading charity funding research into the causes of miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth, and improving maternity outcomes for women and birthing people, Tommy’s is well-placed to convey hope through real life stories from the families we’ve helped to bring a baby home. But we know so much more must be done to grow evidence, improve care and tackle inequities in pregnancy and birthing.
The Stories Manager is responsible for amplifying the voice of people in our community who have been affected by pregnancy and baby loss to call for change, while demonstrating the impact of Tommy’s research and support services through storytelling.
The Stories Manager designs and delivers a multi-channel storytelling plan and building a pipeline of compelling lived experience stories that inspires our supporter base to mobilise for change through our owned and earned media, public campaigning and mass fundraising activities. Working with colleagues across Tommy’s, they oversee our process for sourcing and managing lived experience stories, ensuring that people who share their stories with us are supported and stewarded in the best possible way.
Tackling inequities in pregnancy and birthing is a strategic goal for Tommy’s, and there is a great onus for the charity to source stories which represent a diverse breadth of communities and experiences across our owned communications channels, and through our engagement with the media on topical stories.
Working closely with the Head of Communications and Campaigns and colleagues right across the charity, the Stories Manager plays a vital role helping to position Tommy’s as the leading charity funding ground-breaking research to stop the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss and make pregnancy and birth safe – for everyone.
