Make a Referral

Please note: 

We are currently unable to accept referrals for anyone with an estimated due date before March 31. 

If you need to make a referral for someone in an urgent or acutely vulnerable situation, please call 0141 471 9799 to discuss. 

We do not take referrals for people who need items for their baby but do not need an Amma service .  

For baby items you can try Refuweegee or Maslows.

Make a Referral 

Please complete our referral form to either self-refer or refer someone who might benefit from our services. The services that we offer will depend on our capacity and the needs of the person. 

Our Services: 

• Birth and/or postnatal companionship
• Pregnancy Group and one to one birth preparation (antenatal education)
• Amma Family (Peer support group)

Who should be referred? 

We will prioritise those who: 

• are facing pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period  with no/ very limited support
  and
• are experiencing financial hardship
  and
• live within Greater Glasgow

People we support may also be: 

• socially isolated 
• subject to immigration controls (e.g. in the asylum process or with no recourse to public funds) 
• survivors of trafficking, domestic abuse, FGM and/or gender based violence 
• experiencing barriers to understanding information or accessing maternity services 
• new to Glasgow 
• from a marginalised group 

You can make a referral at any point in pregnancy.  If we receive a referral for someone in early pregnancy, we will make our initial contact with them at around 20 weeks. 

You can also make a referral to Amma Family only for anyone who has given birth in the past year.
