Elizabeth Hutton

Elizabeth Hutton has been Chief Executive of pregnancy and stillbirth charity Kicks Count since 2013 following the loss of her son Toby in 2010. Working to reduce the number of stillbirths and neonatal deaths in the UK by raising awareness of fetal movements, Kicks Count is now one of the leading pregnancy charities in the UK.

Elizabeth was honoured in the 2024 New Years Honours with an OBE. 

Elizabeth also received a Points of Light award from then-Prime Minister David Cameron and held a Guinness World Record titler, reflecting her innovative approach to fundraising and awareness campaigns. 

Beyond her professional achievements, Elizabeth has faced personal health challenges, including a breast cancer diagnosis at the age of 36. She has openly shared her experiences, further inspiring others with her resilience and commitment to supporting women through pregnancy and beyond.

Elizabeth's leadership at Kicks Count continues to make a significant impact in the field of stillbirth prevention, providing vital resources and support to expectant mothers across the UK.
