Founded in 1983 as The Miscarriage Association, we are the UK’s leading charity supporting people affected by miscarriage, ectopic and molar pregnancy.
With empathy and accuracy, we provide trusted information and support for everyone affected by pregnancy loss, equip healthcare professionals with resources and training, and advocate for wider recognition and change.
From providing comfort at the first experience of loss to improving the systems that shape care and support, we’re here for every miscarriage journey.
We run a staffed support line, with telephone, live chat and direct messaging, and offer online and in-person peer support groups. These services complement our comprehensive website which is visited almost 1.5 million times a year.
We collaborate with expert clinicians to create and distribute tens of thousands of free patient information leaflets, getting information directly into the hands of people when they need it most.
We also work to improve care from the outset, working with health professionals to promote best practice and offering free resources and training for those working in early pregnancy care. Additionally, we carry out and contribute to research, from understanding pregnancy loss experiences, to causes and interventions.
We offer guidance, training and resources for employers to improve support and implement policies in the workplace.
And we advocate for better awareness of the impact of pregnancy loss and campaign for change across healthcare, society and employment, as evidenced by our recent successful Leave for Every Loss campaign which saw the updating of employment laws and pregnancy loss legally acknowledged as the bereavement it is for many who experience it.
We firmly believe no one should go through pregnancy loss alone, and that together we can change the way miscarriage is understood, from healthcare to workplaces, from families to society.
Because every loss matters.
