Our Amma Family programme cultivates community through a weekly peer support group, regular workshops, and social outings. Working alongside our volunteer peer supporters, we foster collaboration amongst participants and build on the group’s existing strengths, cultural traditions, and knowledge. Travel expenses and food are provided at every session.
Participants can join Amma Family at any point during pregnancy until their child is one year old. Once in the group, members are able to attend until their child reaches the age of two.
Our peer support programme includes:
- Parent & baby peer support group
Our weekly parent and baby peer support group provides participants with a safe and inclusive space to meet and build strong, supportive networks with other parents. Parents can enjoy a warm cuppa, with plenty of toys and activities to keep wee ones entertained! - Regular workshops
The focus of our workshops are determined by Amma Family participants. Subject matter experts are invited to teach everything from infant first aid to baby massage and more. - Social outings
Group outings take place in family-friendly settings in and around Glasgow. This helps to foster connections amongst participants and creates opportunities for parents to explore Glasgow and the surrounding areas. - Wellbeing activities
We host activities like postnatal fitness class and gardening club focused on improving physical and mental wellbeing.
