Thanks for visiting our Mamma Swim x Great North Swim Just Giving page. This year we're swimming to raise money for Pregnant Then Screwed - recognising the support this unique and kick-ass charity shows mums all over the UK every day. Please help us support them.

Mamma Swim is a swim community empowering mums to boost their mental and physical health one stroke at a time. We know that many of our incredible community have faced maternal discrimination in its many forms. So we want to do what we do best, SWIM, and contribute what we can to help end the prejudice faced by pregnant women and mothers every day.

We (Laura, Bridget, Abi, Steph, Elisa from London's Mamma Swim crew) are swimming 1 mile on Saturday 12th of June in support of Pregnant Then Screwed.

All donations made will help them: 

• Run their free employment helpline
• Run their tribunal mentoring programme
• Run their free legal advice service
• Campaign for the rights of working mothers
• Document the stories of women who have experienced maternity and pregnancy discrimination

The free Pregnant Then Screwed advice line provided Laura with much-needed support and a female solicitor who helped negotiate and settle a not uncommon bias at work after returning part-time from maternity leave. This support was invaluable and gave her access to a legal adviser that was neutral and trustworthy. 

Unfortunately, this type of situation is not a one-off, and as Covid-19 has proven women have been even further affected and discriminated against.
