We were so pleased to hear that the former national director of the Miscarriage Association, Ruth Bender Atik, had been recognised with an OBE in the New Year Honours list.
Our team had worked closely with Ruth for many years. We had seen at first hand the huge difference she made to so many people affected by miscarriage during her time at the charity, and the passion she brought to her job.
Ruth had led the Miscarriage Association for 31 years until she retired in March 2024, and had seen the charity grow and flourish into the incredible organisation it is today.
Congratulations from all the team at The Fertility Alliance to Ruth on this much deserved award.
