Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Twenty-four homes are going to be creating a living advent calendar for our neighbours to enjoy and spend time with their nearest and dearest. These women have all paid to play this advent trail and are doing this to raise money for Project Mama.

Project MAMA is a registered charity based in Bristol launched in March 2018 that offers free, confidential and individual-focused holistic support to displaced people throughout pregnancy, labour and childbirth, and those first few weeks of parenthood.

They currently support pregnant refugees, asylum-seekers, survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking and other displaced women. They focus on this demographic because of the extreme difficulty they can have accessing the NHS, the language barriers they face and the extreme social isolation they may experience. 

Project MAMA is a hive of midwives, activists, doulas and birth companions who form a peer network of skills, support and solidarity for women and their children. Their ethos is to encourage independence and bolster natural resilience people have by providing a safe and nurturing space to unpack ideas and wishes around birth & support in early parenthood. They are a network based on sorority, promoting a women and birthing people’s right to choose and we facilitate community. They promote an understanding of a person’s rights and entitlements surrounding perinatal healthcare in these challenging times.
