Fundraise for us

Fancy getting your trainers on and running 10K? Or perhaps coffee and cake are more your thing? There are lots of ways to raise money for The Smallest Things and we’ll support you every step of the way.

Ask your employer

In February 2018, with no sign of new legislation on the cards, we launched our Employer with Heart charter, asking businesses to extend parental leave for staff who have babies born early. We updated it in 2023 to reflect the new legislation. Has your workplace signed up to our charter yet?

Make a donation

We’re a tiny charity run entirely by volunteers so every penny really does count. Your donations help us to raise awareness, carry out research, host events, consult with government officials and launch schemes such as our ‘preemie proud’ red book stickers.

Speak to your school

With an average of two to three children in every classroom being born early, we know that teachers can play a crucial role in supporting and making a difference to the lives of children born prematurely. Ask your child’s school to take the three simple steps to becoming Prem Aware today.
