Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Hello everyone - we are team from the Mother & Baby Unit in Glasgow based at Leverndale Hospital. Together with our colleagues from the Community Perinatal Mental Health Team, throughout the month of May we will be challenging ourselves to walk 10,000 steps a day in order to fundraise for Action on Postpartum Psychosis. This will be part of the #MilesForMumsAndBabies challenge.


Action on Postpartum psychosis campaign for Mother and Baby Units (MBUs), so that mums affected by postpartum psychosis can receive the treatment they need. They raise awareness of postpartum psychosis, provide support and information to mums and families affected, train health professionals and conduct research to better understand the illness. Together we aim to help them with their pledge to raise over £10,000 in 2021.

As a unit, we care for mothers whom have a diagnosis of post partum psychosis. We have been supported by APP and our team in Glasgow are keen to complete this challenge to further raise awareness and support the charity, 

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to visit our page - we will keep you all updated throughout the month of May with our progress.
