Story

We will send a gift of a Wellbeing Wallet to a nominated pregnant woman this Christmas for every £2 raised. If we reach our target of £2000 we will send 1000 special gifts this Christmas.

Our Wellbeing Wallets give women the key information of when they need to contact their maternity unit to get checked. Christmas holidays especially are a time when women feel reluctant to call for fear of being a nuisance.

By donating just £2 you will fund one of our Wellbeing Wallets for a pregnant woman and £10 could provide 5! For every £2 you donate you can nominate a pregnant woman to receive this very special gift this Christmas. Also don't worry if you don't know anyone to nominate we can always find a pregnant woman to make a gift to on your behalf. Please e-mail your nominations to: support@mamaacademy.org.uk

If you are making your donation in memory of a baby please email us their name by 15th December so we can add them to our Christmas Eve remembrance video: support@mamaacademy.org.uk

MAMA Academy has been helping to save babies lives since 2012. Sadly, the UK has one of the highest stillbirth rates in the developed world with the majority of deaths potentially preventable. Our vision is for there to be no more preventable stillbirths in the UK. We remain committed to seeing a continuous decline in stillbirth and neonatal death rates by empowering maternity professionals and informing expectant parents about stillbirth prevention methods to help more babies arrive safely.

Sadly around 5600 babies are stillborn or die shortly after birth every year in the UK, which amounts to over 100 every week (or 15 every DAY).

By empowering expectant mums with pregnancy information, we can help them feel in control of their pregnancy and confident in reporting any problematic symptoms to their maternity team without delay.

Our Wellbeing Wallets are designed to keep antenatal notes safe and are printed with important educational messages for a healthy pregnancy. The advice is regularly read whilst mums wait for appointments in antenatal clinics, making the knowledge second nature. They also help midwives start conversations with mums on vital pregnancy topics such as monitoring babies movements.

Our Wellbeing Wallets really will make a difference to 1000 families just like Theia's Family: https://www.mamaacademy.org.uk/news/a-wellbeing-wallets-story-theia-titan-goddess-of-light-born-in-february-2018/

Please help us to empower pregnant women this Christmas.
