What we do

TinyLife is Northern Ireland’s premature and sick baby charity dedicated to reducing illness, disability and death in babies born here.

Every day, there are 7 babies born too soon. The charity offers a wide range of support services to families who have experienced premature birth or the birth of a baby requiring special care or intensive care. These services include; hospital based support, home based volunteer programme, breast pump loan service, continue to fund medical research, parents groups, baby massage and baby yoga, sensory room service, baby physio gym and resource library.

TinyLife (formerly NIMBA) was set up in 1988 by healthcare professionals and concerned parents in response to the growing number of babies requiring special or intensive care at birth.

We make a valuable contribution to families across Northern Ireland by continuing to support medical research into the area of stillbirth, miscarriage and premature birth and by identifying and addressing the shortfalls in follow-up services for all those affected by premature birth.

We work closely with healthcare professionals, parents and local health authorities to keep up to date with the changing needs of families and to identify how best to address them.
