Home-Start is a national family support charity that helps parents to build better lives for their children. Last year Home-Start supported 78,900 children in 43,692 families, in communities across the UK.

Home-Start’s relational compassionate support offers practical and emotional help to parents and carers in communities across the UK. This can be through being connected with a trained Home-Start volunteer who will spend around two hours a week in a family’s home supporting them, or, through a number of different group-based activities.

Home-Start began supporting families in Leicester in 1973. In the following 50 years, Home-Start has grown to a network of around 180 local charities working with families in communities across the UK, supported by a central body, Home-Start UK.

We want to ensure that no parent/carer or family feels alone in the critical task of raising children.

Mentor Mums provides a national return to work mentoring service for parents and carers, to help them stay on track in their career after taking parental/carers' leave.

Mind is a leading mental health charity working in England and Wales. We provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem and we campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding. Work relating to maternal mental health continues across our network of 147 local Minds, including delivering the ‘Mums Matter’ service. In Wales, we were involved in the Children, Young People and Education Committee’s inquiry into perinatal mental health during the last Senedd term. Mind’s information pages include info about postnatal depression which was updated in 2020.

Founded in 1983 as The Miscarriage Association, we are the UK’s leading charity supporting people affected by miscarriage, ectopic and molar pregnancy.

With empathy and accuracy, we provide trusted information and support for everyone affected by pregnancy loss, equip healthcare professionals with resources and training, and advocate for wider recognition and change.

From providing comfort at the first experience of loss to improving the systems that shape care and support, we’re here for every miscarriage journey.

We run a staffed support line, with telephone, live chat and direct messaging, and offer online and in-person peer support groups. These services complement our comprehensive website which is visited almost 1.5 million times a year.

We collaborate with expert clinicians to create and distribute tens of thousands of free patient information leaflets, getting information directly into the hands of people when they need it most.

We also work to improve care from the outset, working with health professionals to promote best practice and offering free resources and training for those working in early pregnancy care. Additionally, we carry out and contribute to research, from understanding pregnancy loss experiences, to causes and interventions.

We offer guidance, training and resources for employers to improve support and implement policies in the workplace.

And we advocate for better awareness of the impact of pregnancy loss and campaign for change across healthcare, society and employment, as evidenced by our recent successful Leave for Every Loss campaign which saw the updating of employment laws and pregnancy loss legally acknowledged as the bereavement it is for many who experience it.

We firmly believe no one should go through pregnancy loss alone, and that together we can change the way miscarriage is understood, from healthcare to workplaces, from families to society.

Because every loss matters.

We offer maternal mental health and wellbeing support, advice and information to women, birthing people and their families. As mothers who have lived experience of depression, anxiety and isolation during pregnancy or after the birth our one or more of our babies, we understand how hard early parenthood can feel and how difficult it can be to ask for help.
