Maternity Champions are a trained team of local people who volunteer to provide support for expectant and new parents through pregnancy, child birth and the transition into parenthood.
Being pregnant and having a baby is an amazing experience but at times can be overwhelming and isolating. Working closely with midwives, health visitors and children’s centre staff, the team will be on hand to guide and support new parents, increase the uptake of support services, give advice on keeping healthy and active, feedback views and reduce isolation and vulnerability by encouraging new parents to support each other.
If you would like to find out more about the programme and how the Maternity Champions may be able to support you, or if you would like to become a Maternity Champion yourself please get in touch using the contact details below:
