Andersen Mother and Baby Unit are taking part in the Miles for Mums and Babies challenge!

Throughout all of May 2025 our staff, mum’s, babies and families are going to be walking, running, toddling and pushing buggies with the aim of altogether completing 1400 miles to represent the 1400 new mums who experience postpartum psychosis in the UK each year.

Thank you in advance for any donations, no matter how big or small. It all makes such a huge difference to how APP can help. Please feel free to share this page too.

Action on Postpartum Psychosis (APP) is a UK charity. We’re here to make sure mums, parents and families are supported through postpartum psychosis – a severe, but treatable, form of mental illness that occurs after having a baby and affects 1400 new mums in the UK each year.

We offer information and peer support, facilitate ground breaking research, raise awareness and campaign for improved services.

Our life changing peer support network helps women and families affected by postpartum psychosis feel understood, supported and less isolated.
