Join the Pioneers Club and help save babies' lives

The Pioneers Club is for supporters who have been touched in some way by the tragedy of miscarriage, premature birth or stillbirth and want to be part of a special group who share Tommy's vision - to end the heartache which so many parents suffer when their precious baby dies during pregnancy or at birth.

"Our eldest daughter Polly was stillborn in 1998. She was incredibly beautiful and the very short memories we have of her we will cherish and treasure forever. We were shocked to discover that we were not unique. To ensure that other parents don't suffer similar tragedies, Tommy's is helping to look for answers that we, as parents are desperate to have. For us, supporting Tommy's is a positive way of continuing to remember Polly."
Helen & Henry King, members of the Pioneers Club

Since 1999, Pioneers have helped to:

  • Discover vitamins that help prevent pre-eclampsia.

When you become a Pioneer you can:

  • Meet the researchers.
