Help Make Amma’s New Office A Home

Amma, Fundraising / By

When people come to our current office, many of them comment on the cosy and welcoming atmosphere, how it’s a lovely space to be – to meet, to learn.

As Team Amma grows, we have outgrown our current office, with prams and volunteers and birthing balls and desks all competing for breathing space.
So, we were delighted when we were able to secure a much larger space in an office building not far from our current location.

However, as you can see, this space is far from cosy, and needs some CUSTOMISATIONn to make it feel like Amma’s new home.

This is where you come in!
We need your help to make this space into our dream Amma HQ.

Amma leads lots of different activities and work, and the new office will be divided into divferent areas where those activities will take place.

We’ll have _ a kid’s play area
_ meeting room
_hotdesking area
kitchen

Advocacy, Amma, Case Studies, Immigration, Racism / By

Yesterday, the government’s cruel and unworkable Illegal Migration Bill passed its third reading in the House of Commons. It will now go to the House of Lords for consideration, where it, if passed, will become law.

The impact of this Bill is truly horrifying. At Amma, we are deeply concerned about the impact it will have on all people seeking safety, but particularly on pregnant women and their children.

International Women’s Day 2023 – Wise Women’s Words, Part 1

Leave a Comment / Advocacy, Birth, Pregnancy / By

International Women’s Day is an opportunity to honour the experiences and identities of all those who experience oppression under patriarchy — and to talk about the specific injustices faced by women and birthing people. Here at Amma, we believe these conversations shouldn’t take place on just one day a year. So, this International Women’s Day we’re kicking off a three-part series of frank and open discussions focused on the many intersections of reproductive justice.

Advocacy, Amma Family, Media, Racism / By

On November 8, a mural exploring Black motherhood was unveiled outside the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital in Glasgow. This mural is a public declaration of a commitment to racial equality and justice, and an invitation to continue to hold this hospital and others like it to account — to co-create a maternity system where everyone receives not just adequate care, but excellent care.
