What we will do with your money?
We will provide vital support to birth parents when they most need it. It will involve independent advocacy, support and professional counselling.
Birth parents will be able to continue to participate in therapeutic group work and mindfulness.
Parents in need of advice and information will be able to continue to access Families in Care sessions.

We will help birth parents to develop skills and to gain knowledge necessary to share their experiences.
There is so much more that we can do - but we will not be able to make it happen without your help.
