We’re delighted to announce the appointment of Amma’s inaugural CEO, Maree Aldam. The appointment of a CEO marks an important milestone for Amma, as we set our sights on opportunities for growth.
Maree has nearly 20 years’ experience of working in the third sector in Scotland, having worked with organisations that tackle homelessness, poverty and marginalisation. She is currently CEO of the International Network of Street Papers (INSP) – a Glasgow-based NGO that leads and develops a network of 90+ social enterprise organisations (including The Big Issue magazine) in 35 countries worldwide.
Maree is also a trustee of A Moment’s Peace – a theatre company that focuses on social justice, activism and community engagement. She lives in Glasgow and is a mum of two young children.
Maree says, “I am beyond delighted to be joining Amma. Throughout my career, I have been involved in work that supports and provides opportunities to vulnerable and marginalised people, and I have always been passionate about women’s rights and reproductive rights. The more I get to know the organisation, the more inspired I am by what has been achieved so far and the incredible impact on the lives of vulnerable women and birthing people. I recently completed Amma’s birth and postnatal companion training, so I have experienced first-hand the passion, expertise and brilliance of Amma’s volunteers and staff. I’m honoured to be joining such an incredible group of people.”
Maree’s official start date is April 12, 2022. We are excited to welcome Maree to the team and have no doubt she will provide Amma with excellent leadership.

We were delighted to be invited to Holyrood Secondary School’s YPI Charity Fayre, where we had the opportunity to meet hundreds of enthusiastic S3 students and share more about Amma’s work.
The Young Philanthropists Initiative (YPI) encourages students to explore charities and community organisations that are making a difference, before choosing a cause to research and support through their projects.
Over 20 mums travelled from across Glasgow to Balloch Park last week for Amma’s yearly family trip, making the most of a rare sunny day.
Isolation is one of the quietest challenges new mums face, and it’s often the small, practical things, like the cost of a train fare or the unfamiliarity of a new journey, that can quietly stop mums from getting out and about.
We are delighted to share that Amma has been shortlisted for the Community Impact Award at The Herald and Glasgow Chamber of Commerce Inspiring City Awards 2026. The award celebrates initiatives that have substantially improved quality of life, strengthened community cohesion, and advanced social equity across Glasgow.
