Currently 1 in 5 women are diagnosed with a mental health condition in the year around birth. In the year after birth suicide is the number one cause of death in women. Many more suffer alone in silence.
You might have a loved one who has felt like this or you might feel it yourself.
That’s why our project is so desperately needed. Over the past two years, we’ve secured ongoing funding for four creative peer-support groups and through them we've helped over 400 mums. To run more in 2025 and beyond, we need the community’s help.

Reviews from participants
“I feel so blessed that this sweet community exists and is a resource I can draw upon.”
“There’s really nowhere else, and nothing else, that properly matches the contribution that Stroud Motherhood Collective has given to my life since becoming a mum.”
“Being a mum can be really, really challenging at times. Feeling held by people in the community - doing something creative together, talking, holding space - is so important in getting through those challenges.”
