So lovely to be part of this event, hearing from a huge number of amazing charities whose work focuses on tackling social isolation, particularly for minoritised groups. Thank you for this funding which has helped us to run our Amma Family peer support and education programme.

Looking forwards to being back at Washhouse Garden today for our gardening and cooking group alongside Amma Birth Companions 🧡

This week, are cooking a delicious noodle soup, perfect rainy day food. Yum! 🥣🥦 #PEEKwellbeing

The #BirthTraumaInquiry report is sobering. It's crucial that poor care and bad experiences are brought to light. The recommendations are good but will be vastly expensive to implement. Only a firm, long-term financial commitment from government will do.

Many brave people shared their personal stories of birth trauma for the #BirthTraumaInquiry . Here's hoping it leads far greater investment in maternity services...

Maree Aldam Amma Birth Companions 🧡 Make Birth Better Theo Clarke MP 1/2 Thank you so much for all you do to ensure women feel less alone in the perinatal time. You are correct: action has to come out of yesterday: timely & sustained action that will make maternity services better for all. Lots of likeminded colleagues agreed on this last night

So excited to welcome our newest group of trainee volunteers to the team! Over the next 6 weeks, they'll receive training on birth, trauma, advocacy, self-care, and more. Find out more about volunteering with Amma: ammabirthcompanions.org/volunteer/

Our pregnancy group is led by the amazing Rohese (@bodywisdombirth) and Kate (@midwifekatescotland). Kate, a passionate midwife, recently reflected on our group's evolution and its impact on her work. Read Kate's reflections: iolanthe.org/grants-awards/…

Thank you so much for supporting Kate’s work. We’re so lucky to have her!

So great to chat - and thanks for this brilliant photo. Might steal!

Thank you so much for taking the time to come and visit us today - it was a pleasure to have the time to bring our work to life for you all. So excited to work with you this year!

What an incredible achievement, thanks so much to all who took part and all who supported. We are so grateful! 💚

Inequity in maternity care is still of concern across all areas of services.

Amma Birth Companions 🧡 share their recent report that adds to the evidence and points out that so much more needs to be done.
