Every 2 hours a baby dies in the UK. That’s 13 families’ lives shattered today. But baby loss isn't inevitable. 800 babies could have been saved last year. That’s 25 classrooms of children excitedly writing letters to Santa. Will you help save a life and transform a family’s future?

    Baby and pregnancy loss affects over half of the UK. Yet for 1 in 3 stillbirths, the cause is still unknown. 1 in 5 baby deaths could be prevented with better care, especially in deprived areas and among Black and Asian families. Suicide is a leading cause of maternal death and has tripled in recent years. The impact is profound, with up to 70% of families requiring psychological support. You could transform a family's future—maybe even one close to you.

    You can help provide a better future for families. With your support we can: •Invest in life-saving research to tackle unanswered questions on pregnancy and baby loss. •Listen and share people’s experiences, to learn from mistakes and advocate for safer, fairer maternity care, so that fewer babies die and inequalities are ended. •Provide specialist mental health support, training, and bereavement care resources to ensure every family receives the best possible care to provide a hopeful future.
