Queen Charlotte's Appeal

It is devastating when what should be the most natural process in the world goes wrong - the conception and birth of a healthy baby. We strive
to prevent the suffering caused by such problems as premature birth,
brain injury, miscarriage and infertility

Now we need your help to continue and develop this most crucial research to help save mothers' and babies' lives. Together we can work to improve women's health and ensure that as many women as possible have healthy pregnancies and thriving babies. With up to 250 babies dying every week in the UK as a result of complications during pregnancy, our work has never been so essential.

The new Queen Charlotte's Appeal will support one of the largest dedicated teams of doctors and scientists in Britain to conduct innovative and vital research that will, to some extent, affect every man, woman and child in this country.

The Wolfson and Weston Research Centre for Family Health at the Hammersmith and Queen Charlotte's Hospital site of Imperial College London is unequalled in Europe but we desperately need to raise £500,000 a year to ensure that the research into the successful prevention and treatment of these life-shattering conditions continues.
