Stockport Snowdrops is a group providing peer support to local mums experiencing pre or postnatal issues. We meet fortnightly in Bredbury, Stockport.The group is an informal toddler group style meet up where mums can bring their little ones and there are toys provided but the emphasis is on connecting with the mums and providing a listening ear, signposting and advice where appropriate.

We work closely with local health teams and often receive informal referrals from them for mums to attend our groups. Volunteers who have themselves faced PND, anxiety or other mental health difficulties after having a baby offer their time to provide the group for mums in the area. On average around 8 or 10 mums attend each session.

Many funding streams will help us with new equipment and future projects but we find it difficult to raise funds for week-by-week running costs. If you feel able to give, no matter how small an amount, please know it goes directly towards running our groups.

The money will be used to pay for refreshments and cakes for each meet, volunteer expenses, resources for our library that mums can borrow from and printing costs to help promote our group in the local area.
