Making your race matter

“We’d spent 10 years feeling such sadness, I don’t know where we would be without their help. Professor Alex and his team were so lovely and really understood how we felt. They didn’t just give us Lyla, they gave us our lives back.” Read Claire's emotional story about how she was helped at our Manchester Centre.

Clare endured 5 stillbirths before a reason was found
