Baby Loss Awareness Week 2025

Join us this Baby Loss Awareness Week (9–15 October 2025) as we come together to remember all of the much-loved babies who died too soon.

Beginning initially as a national Baby Loss Awareness Day in 2002, Baby Loss Awareness Week has taken place every October in the UK since then. The week is a collaboration between a number of bereavement charities and aims to offer support, solidarity and comfort to everyone whose lives have been touched by the impact of pregnancy and baby loss.

As well as being a time to remember and reflect, many of our community also use the week to fundraise to support our work. We also share stories, resources and advice on our social media pages – if you feel able and would like to get involved throughout Baby Loss Awareness Week, make sure you’re following Tommy’s on Instagram, X, TikTok and Facebook.

You're not alone. We know this week will be difficult for many of you – but no matter what your experience, we see you and we're here for you.

We're here to support the 1 in 2 of us affected by baby loss each year.

We're here to guide you through your moments of uncertainty with specialist information and advice.

We're here to help people understand the scale and impact of baby loss so that no-one feels alone.

A year of saving babies' lives (2023/24)

Half of all adults in the UK have either experienced baby loss themselves or know someone who has. Tommy’s is here to change that, and we made some significant progress last year.

We know that the impact we’re making is only possible thanks to you, our wonderful supporters, fundraisers and partners. We're so grateful that you choose to support Tommy’s and work alongside us so that we can make these breakthroughs, drive change and save babies’ lives.

Our Year 2022: The difference YOU made

We might already be nearly six months in 2023 (how did that happen?!), but we wanted to share some of our key impacts that you have helped us to achieve in 2022 . In 2022 you made a huge difference to families across the UK by choosing to support Tommy's through your wonderful business. Our community of small businesses is so special to us here at Tommy's and we cannot do what we do without you!

We know it's not been easy for small businesses over the last few years and we are so grateful for your continued commitment to saving babies' lives. With you by our side we will keep working in 2023 to reduce inequalities, end avoidable baby loss, and give every family and their baby the safest possible pregnancy and birth.

Team Tommy's

About us

Bringing together a network of expert researchers, healthcare professionals and passionate supporters, Tommy’s is a community dedicated to making pregnancy safer and helping more families bring their babies home.

Together, we’re finding ways to stop miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth by translating our research into breakthroughs that change the lives of women, birthing people and their families.

To achieve our mission, we’re driving change through:

Our world-leading research which is growing evidence, finding new tests and treatments and improving maternity care for all
Our partnerships with specialist NHS clinics for people who need additional care and support
Our clear and expert information for everyone at any stage of their pregnancy journey, with our midwife helplines to give extra support when it’s needed
Our public health campaigns and policy work, seeking to mobilise for change and raise awareness of the scale of the issue to bring about much-needed improvements – and consistency – in care nationwide
Our partnerships with communities and experts to tackle inequities and reduce health disparities for people most at risk of pregnancy complications and loss.

This is only possible thanks to our supporters and partners who help us to achieve more impact. We’ve made huge progress, but there’s still so much to be done. Right now, half the adults in the UK have experienced baby loss or know someone who has. This simply isn’t good enough. With the strength of our community, we know we can make change happen. Together, we can save babies’ lives.
