How to Donate to or Get Involved with Tommy's

Updated

You can support Tommy's, the UK pregnancy and baby loss charity, by donating through its website, paying in money you have raised at an event, joining a fundraising challenge, or getting involved in other ways such as sharing your story or signing up for the newsletter. The right route depends on whether you want to give a one-off gift, hand over funds you have already collected, or take part in an activity.

Donating to Tommy's

The Tommy's website has a dedicated Donate to Tommy's section in its main navigation and a Donate link in the site header. These are the starting points for making a financial gift.

The site's payment setup references Stripe and PayPal, so online card and PayPal payments are the expected methods when you donate through the website. The available donation page does not list specific suggested amounts, so choose an amount that fits your budget.

If you have raised money offline

If you collected cash or sponsorship money in person, Tommy's provides a "Pay in your fundraising" page under Donate → Other ways to donate. Use this when you need to transfer money you have already gathered to the charity rather than making a fresh donation.

Fundraising for Tommy's

Fundraising is a separate path from a direct donation. The site's navigation includes a Ways to get involved section, and the charity promotes events such as the London Landmarks Half Marathon, which appears in its About us menu. If you want to raise money rather than simply give it, start from the get-involved pages and look for an event or challenge that suits you, then use the pay-in page once you have collected funds.

Getting involved beyond donating

The Tommy's site lists several non-financial ways to participate:

  • Share your story — listed under Get in touch. Useful if you have a pregnancy or baby loss experience you are willing to tell.
  • Newsletter sign up — also under Get in touch. A low-commitment way to stay informed about the charity's work and campaigns.
  • Work for us — the site has a Current vacancies page if you are interested in employment rather than volunteering.
  • Get involved with our research — listed under the research section for people interested in participating in studies.
  • Baby Loss Awareness Week 2026 — featured on the homepage as a campaign to follow or take part in.

What to check before you start

Confirm which page you are on before entering payment details — the donate flow and the fundraising pay-in flow serve different purposes. If you are paying in sponsorship money, have your fundraising reference or event details ready, since pay-in pages typically ask you to identify the funds. For event fundraising, check the specific event page for any registration steps before you begin collecting.
