Story

Every woman needs a midwife when she is giving birth and The Iolanthe Midwifery Trust wants midwives to provide the best care they can. Midwives and students can find it hard to get funding for extra training or to carry out research to improve midwifery. That is why we give out financial awards to enable them to develop their practice or to improve local services. Many of our award winners aim to improve care for women and babies who are disadvantaged and testify to the difference that having an Iolanthe Award makes to them:

Having an award from Iolanthe means that this work is valued. By doing this you are advocating for the women and babies who are often forgotten, misunderstood and already disadvantaged

LAURA ABBOTT, MIDWIVES AWARD WINNER, WORKING WITH PREGNANT WOMEN IN PRISON

Deaf women can experience social exclusion and isolation during their pregnancy and early parenting years. They can also face barriers in acessing services. With my award I was able to study level 2 BSL and have been able to use my new language skills within practice.
