TWINS share a unique bond and always have a playmate growing up.

But although twins and multiples may be similar in appearance, twins are two different individuals, often with different personalities.

It is important to remember identical twins can look and sound different (especially as they grow older), have different tastes in clothing and pursue different hobbies. We want to encourage individuality while celebrating their relationship.

Our members tell us they enjoy watching the extraordinary connection between twins develop as they grow up.

There are lots of pluses to being a twin, however it does come with challenges as well.

A report by Tamba and the NCT found about one in six babies dying in neonatal care in Scotland is a multiple birth baby.
