As a team, Leicestershire Partnership Trust Perinatal Mental Health Team are raising money for the charity Action on Postpartum Psychosis.

Each member will be walking 40miles over October, this number represents the distance from our base in central Leicester to our nearest MBU (The Beeches, Derby) where our mums and babies stay for treatment. This is the journey our service users and their families travel for additional support.

Any donations will be greatly appreciated by the team and APP, thank you.

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.
