This year Closer are partnering with miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth charity Tommy's for their 2018 awards, and we want you to have your say!

Every year, around 3,500 babies are born sleeping in the UK, yet not only is the subject of stillbirth still a taboo, but the medical reasons for it are still largely unknown.

Thankfully, the charity Tommy's are working hard to change that.

Tommy's fund research into miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth, as well as providing advice and support to parents, and it's not an exaggeration to say that the work they do changes lives.

Here at Closer, we're in awe of the great work Tommy's do, which is why we're partnering with them to support the 2018 Tommy's Awards.

The Tommy's Awards take place once a year, and are an opportunity for the charity to honour the many individuals and companies who help them in their incredible work.

There are dozens of awards to celebrate all sorts of people - from the Little Champion Award, to the Star Fundraiser Award (which Closer will be sponsoring this year).

We're really excited to be supporting such a great cause, and would love you to get involved by nominating YOUR hero (click here to find out more!).

Nominations close on December 15 2017, so make sure you get yours in asap!
