I am raising money in aid of APP to repay them for some of the support they gave myself and my family through my partner's illness with Post-partum Psychosis, and to enable them to keep campaigning for better provision for all families suffering through this illness. Their work has recently helped secure the creation of an MBU unit in Northern Ireland (the first such unit in NI), and I want to help them push further and support more families.

Action on Postpartum Psychosis (APP) is a UK charity. We’re here to make sure mums, parents and families are supported through postpartum psychosis – a severe, but treatable, form of mental illness that occurs after having a baby and affects 1400 new mums in the UK each year.

We offer information and peer support, facilitate ground breaking research, raise awareness and campaign for improved services.

Our life changing peer support network helps women and families affected by postpartum psychosis feel understood, supported and less isolated.
