About Tiny Tickers

We’re a small charity with big ambitions. We’ve got a proud track record of helping improve the detection, care and treatment of babies with serious heart conditions, and we have exciting plans to do even more to help in the future.

History

We were founded in 1999 by world-renowned fetal cardiologist Dr Helena Gardiner, when she realised many of the babies she was caring for could have been helped earlier.

Our history

Mission and need

We want to increase early detection rates of cardiac conditions because we know that spotting a defect early can improve a baby’s chances of survival and long-term quality of life.

Our mission

Our work and impact

Rates for heart problems being detected during pregnancy have more than doubled since we launched – thanks in part to our work.

Our work

Our plans and ambitions

We’ve already achieved a lot, and we have exciting ambitions to make an even greater impact for heart babies born in the UK.

Our plans

How we’re funded

We’re reliant on the generosity of our supporters to fund our work. Most of our income comes from either individuals who kindly raise money on our behalf, or from trusts and grant providers funding specific projects.
