Kwende's fundraiser for Birth Companions

kwende king-webb is raising money for Birth Companions

Richmond Park Half Marathon · 19 July 2026

Birth Companions supports vulnerable pregnant women & new mothers. We work with women facing issues such as homelessness, poor mental health & domestic violence or sexual abuse. We work in prisons & in the community offering practical and emotional support that is non-judgemental and woman centred.

Story

Birth Companions is a UK charity dedicated to supporting women facing severe disadvantage or trauma during pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood. They provide vital, practical and emotional care to ensure no woman faces these critical moments alone.

I’m running the half marathon to raise £1,000 for Birth Companions! 🏃‍♀️🏅

I can’t tell you how thankful we are to this unbelievable charity for all the support they have given us and my family over the years. When we have been most in need they have provided practical support like cots, baby clothes, and every little thing your baby needs! They also offered emotional and mental support disadvantaged mothers desperately need!

Every mother deserves care, but many face pregnancy and birth in extreme hardship, isolation, or trauma. Birth Companions is a vital UK charity providing life-changing emotional and practical support to heavily disadvantaged women during pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood. No woman should have to navigate these critical moments alone.

How your donation helps:

* £20 pays for an emergency taxi to the hospital during labour.

* £50 provides a mother with a fully stocked hospital bag and clothes, creams, nappies etc for baby.

* £100 funds home-visit support from specialist volunteers after birth.

Please donate today to help me hit my £1,000 target and bring safety, dignity, and warmth to a new mum and her baby. Thank you so much for your support!
