1001 Critical Days Foundation: improving outcomes for babies

We award grants to UK registered charities delivering work that supports babies during the 1001 critical days – from pregnancy to the age of two.

We prioritise projects and initiatives that deliver the greatest impact for babies, and we are focused on supporting work that measurably improves outcomes for babies.  

We only support work that takes place in family hubs and similar “one stop shop” settings. This is because these spaces are universally accessible and destigmatising, and having services under one roof improves the experience for babies and families.
