It’s generous gifts from Twins Trust supporters and our members that make our work possible. Thank you. Here’s how you make a real difference to the lives of families with twins, triplets and more:
- Our Maternity Engagement project saw fewer neonatal admissions and fewer emergency c-sections in just 12 months. Our team work hard to ensure maternity units follow NICE multiple birth guidance as this world-first project could ultimately see a prevention in stillbirths and £millions of saving for the NHS.
- The first ever twin pregnancy growth charts were launched in 2017. Now, health professionals can get the right information to decide what’s going well and what isn’t during a multiple pregnancy.
- Families in severe need can receive practical help through Twins Trust Helping Hands.
- Twinline, our free helpline, gives parents and carers of multiples someone to talk to who understands – all our listeners are parents of twins, triplets or more.
- Breastfeeding Peer Supporters are ready to help answer questions about breastfeeding or mix feeding your babies. Naturally, they’re all mums of twins or more.
- A huge amount of information is available to inform and reassure parents expecting two or more babies. From antenatal care and the birth to neonatal care and coming home from hospital. It’s all free to read, watch and download from our website.
- Twins Trust specialist courses help parents get ready for their babies. Through our webinars they can learn positive ways to handle the unique challenges of parenting multiples as they develop and grow up.
- We undertake important new research, so mums and babies are looked after better during pregnancy and after birth.
- Through our campaigns, we work with politicians and the government to make sure they understand the unique problems our families face.
- Families who have sadly lost one or more of their babies find understanding and support with our Bereavement Support Group.
