Brilliant to have the chance to give evidence at this Lords Inquiry today. So important that we understand more about why preterm birth happens & why some communities experience much poorer outcomes - and we must make sure everyone gets the right care at the right time!

Yesterday, 3 AMRC charities (Tommy's, Sands - baby loss charity 💙🧡 and Borne) shared their insights with the Preterm Birth Committee at the House of Lords. Many of the important issues raised around preterm birth research are also relevant across the R&D sector. Read more⬇️

Great to get to speak on ITV News about how helpful this scheme will be to parents who have experienced loss and how Government must also commit to recording the number of miscarriages so we can improve things for the future #miscarriagematters #babyloss

New research by Bliss Baby Charity has found for every 10 babies that need to stay overnight in neonatal care, there's only 1 room available for the parent to stay with them. They've launched a new campaign to help change this. Find out more here: bliss.org.uk/research-campa…

It’s been less than a hundred years since women in Britain have had the right to vote. This Manchester banner was unfurled in 1903 - it would be 25 years before the suffragettes’ dream was finally realised. Make sure you use that hard-won right today!

The new The Labour Party Gov promises to deliver change but what does this mean for maternity safety & care? Can it provide the change we've been asking for to save more babies' lives? Robert Wilson, Head of our Joint Policy Unit with Sands - baby loss charity 💙🧡 shares his thoughts: bit.ly/3Lm7xGl

A major review of the NHS describes maternity care as ‘an important area of concern’, with ‘huge inequalities’ affecting women, birthing people & babies. Our CEO @Kathabrahams says the results are "frustrating, upsetting & sadly unsurprising." Read more:bit.ly/4d6qF6X
