Amma Birth Companions is a Glasgow charity that provides vital services to ensure women and birthing people from migrant backgrounds and other underserved groups are supported during pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood.
Our services include birth and postnatal companionship, peer support, and education. Through research and advocacy, we also tackle structural and health inequalities, informed by the lived experiences of the individuals we support.
Our volunteer companions are highly trained to provide culturally safe, trauma-informed care to the individuals we support.
Since our inception in May 2019, we have provided companionship and helped to cultivate community for more than 450 birthing individuals.
