Every parent-to-be in Northern Ireland hopes that their baby will be born healthy, but sadly:

* Of approximately 24,000 babies born here each year, over 1,500 are born too soon
* Almost 900 babies spend time in a neonatal intensive care unit each year
* 80% of babies, who are born alive but die in the first 28 days of life, are born prematurely
* On average there are two stillbirths every week in Northern Ireland3
* 50% of stillbirths remain unexplained
* 1 in every 5 pregnancies ends in miscarriage



That’s why TinyLife exists and why our work is so important. As Northern Ireland’s only premature and vulnerable baby charity, we are dedicated to reducing illness, disability and death in babies born here and providing support for families who have been affected by such circumstances.



TinyLife does this through three core activities:

* funding medical research into the causes and effects of premature birth, still birth and miscarriage
* providing practical and emotional support for parents and families with prematurely born babies and those requiring special or intensive care at birth
* providing information to health professionals and parents-to-be to ensure that every pregnancy has the best chance of a healthy outcome and a healthy baby.
