What is crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.

The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

Story

We are a Community Interest Company working to support families in and around Worcester from pregnancy through the first year of parenting. We recognise that this life-changing time brings challenges, as well as joys, and want to be there to help smooth the transition and give new families the best possible start. At the moment our services are limited by what we can subsidise through our not-for-profit company. (You can see what we offer and read more about us here - https://www.becomingfamilies.co.uk/) We need more funds to enable us to continue and to expand our services.

We need ongoing funds to help us continue to run a free postnatal mental health & wellbeing support group, and additional services that will support the building of strong parent-infant relationships. We passionately believe that better mental health across the lifespan begins right at the very start and that support in these early days, weeks and months can have a huge positive impact on the happiness and wellbeing of mums, dads and children.

Thank you so much for your continuing support of Becoming Families. Although we are currently restricted by Covid-19 and unable to offer our services face-to-face, we are doing what we can to continue offering some courses and support online. We know that times are incredibly difficult for many people right now, but if you are able to make a donation, however small, we can keep filling that pot so we are able to resume our free postnatal wellbeing support group and bespoke support for new families as soon as we possibly can.
