A Sunny Day at Balloch Park with Amma Family

Amma, Amma Family, Family Group /

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.

Hatred has no place here: A message to our community

Uncategorized /

This week, racist violence and intimidation have spread across the UK, including here in Glasgow. We are sickened by what is happening in our city. The people responsible are a small minority who do not speak for Glasgow or for Scotland. This is a country where people of all backgrounds live side by side, and where most people believe that individuals and families seeking safety deserve to be welcomed.

Amma /

Every week, we support women and birthing people through pregnancy, birth, and the immediate postnatal period at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH). We frequently see the dedication of the staff who care for them. We also see what happens when a system is pushed beyond its limits. Today’s Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) report speaks to both realities.
