Our ambassadors
Our Ambassadors play a vital role in raising awareness of the Miscarriage Association’s work and the impact of pregnancy loss. Through their platforms and personal experiences, they help to break the silence around miscarriage and encourage others to seek support.
Each valued ambassador brings their unique voice and passion to the cause, helping us to reach more people and offer comfort, understanding and information to those who need it.

Nisha’s comments:
I am honoured to be an ambassador for the Miscarriage Association. Having personally experienced the heartbreak of six miscarriages, including two late-term losses, I understand how isolating and devastating the journey of baby loss can be.
Becoming an ambassador allows me to use my voice to raise awareness, offer support to others, and break the silence surrounding miscarriage and pregnancy loss. I want every woman and family going through this pain to know they are not alone—and that their grief, their stories, and their babies truly matter.
Natalie Lowe
After courageously sharing her personal experience of miscarriage, Natalie Lowe joined us as an Ambassador to help raise awareness of the impact of pregnancy loss.

We are incredibly grateful for her ongoing support and dedication to helping others feel less alone.

Natalie’s comments:
As some of you will know, I suffered two miscarriages and I was beyond devastated. I didn’t know where to turn, but the Miscarriage Association was there to help me through.
I want people to know that they don’t have to go through pregnancy loss alone – the M.A. is there to listen and to help.
Matthew Burton
Our Ambassador Matthew Burton is helping us to raise awareness and challenge the taboos that still surround pregnancy loss. We’re so grateful for his support and commitment to our cause.
An English teacher and headteacher, Matthew became widely known through Channel 4’s Educating Yorkshire, where he moved audiences with his compassionate support for student Musharraf as he worked to overcome a stammer.
Matthew and his wife experienced a miscarriage on Christmas Eve in 2012. Since then, he has taken on several challenges for the charity, including running the Yorkshire Marathon and winning over £20,000 for the cause on The Celebrity Chase.
Matthew’s comments:
Although that moment of loss will never go away, it’s certainly taught me a few things. Firstly, to talk about it. It helped. Those who knew about it thought they couldn’t say the right things, I’m sure, but every supportive word helps.
