Hi and thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

I hope you can support me as I take part in this great challenge. 

Acacia Family Support offers help to mums and families who are suffering from pre and post-natal depression and anxiety. They offer befriending, group work, telephone support and help in the home.

I first knew about Acacia as a volunteer in the crèche at one of their weekly meetings. I was pregnant with my daughter at the time and had newly moved to Birmingham. Then I went off to have my baby.

Fast forward a couple of years I found myself needing some support with anxiety and low moods when I was pregnant with my son and also after the birth.

Acacia has been a huge support to me during a very difficult time where I felt lonely, isolated and on edge. Without their support, I would have struggled so much more. Pre and postnatal anxiety and depression can come with a stigma attached to it but I am passionate about this Charity and helping to raise awareness and funds to keep this invaluable service going for many who are going through similar to what I went through. What I love about Acacia is that they offer support to dads too!

Please support us in this huge challenge. Your donation will be greatly appreciated and will go towards helping many more future families receive the support they need. 

To give an idea of where your donation could go:

£5 provides one off practical support at home or befriending.

£10 covers the cost of a group work course for one of our mums (with free crèche).

£50 buys a mum or dad's entire journey of recovery with Acacia.

Any amount given will make a difference and it would also be a great encouragement to me to push on through to complete the challenge. Thank you!
