Tommy's is committed to funding medical research into the causes of miscarriage, premature birth and still birth.
In March 2005, the Yorkshire branch were privileged to visit St Mary's Hospital in Manchester, one of several research centres across the UK. There we met a group of dedicated medics and researchers carrying out studies and projects funded by Tommy's. We were able to talk to them about their studies, and how they will make a difference to families across the UK.
