Staff
At the Miscarriage Association, our staff team is at the heart of everything we do.
They’re here to support people affected by pregnancy loss – whether that’s through our helpline, live chat, online groups, or by sharing trusted information and guidance.
They also work hard to raise awareness, campaign for better laws and workplace rights, and push for real improvements in care and understanding around pregnancy loss.
Every day, their dedication, expertise and compassion make a real difference to the people who turn to us for help.
