I am hoping to raise a whopping £1000 for Smile Group, a charity extremely close to my heart.

Smile Group are a perinatal mental health charity providing crucial grassroots level support to families struggling to navigate their way through the early stages of parenthood. having never struggled with mental health in my life, after giving birth I became really poorly with post natal depression and post traumatic stress and used Smile Groups services as part of my journey to recovery.

For the past two years, I've had the privilege of volunteering as a trustee for this incredible organisation. During this time, I've witnessed first-hand the heart and soul that goes into running this charity and the struggles such voluntary and community services face to survive and how vital public donations are.

Your donation will help ensure that Smile Group can continue offering crucial support to those in need and hopefully make a difference to the life/s of a struggling new parent such as myself.
