Mamma Swim CIC supports the mental and physical well-being of mothers through swimming, connection, and peer support. In our first year as a registered Community Interest Company, we prioritised building an inclusive, welcoming community that addresses the widespread challenges of postnatal isolation and maternal mental health. With 1 in 5 women experiencing a mental health issue during or after pregnancy, Mamma Swim provides a vital service that helps mothers regain confidence, community, and strength. From July 2023 to July 2024, we delivered over 3,000 swims across more than 375 events in North London. Our innovative peer-supported childcare model enabled mothers to swim while their peers cared for their children, creating a trusted, reciprocal system that supports both physical recovery and emotional resilience. In our annual survey, 96% of participants reported a positive impact on their mental health, and 90% said their feelings of loneliness had decreased as a result of taking part in Mamma Swim. Key Achievements in 2023 to2024 include Developed and launched a clear, welcoming brand identity,helping more mothers discover our offer and feel confident joining the community. Built and nurtured an active peer-to-peer support network using the Heylo app, enabling consistent communication and connection between members. Expanded to new locations and piloted a toddler-friendly group for mothers with children aged 2 to 5. Recruited and trained volunteer swim hosts, enabling us to run more sessions each week across multiple sites. Strengthened our partnership with GLL / Better and launched a new collaboration with Community Sauna Baths, piloting our childcare exchange in a new setting. Introduced a voluntary Mamma Swim Membership to help sustain operational costs and support long-term financial resilience. Took part in public campaigns and media platforms,such as the Honest Postnatal Podcast, Swim Out Podcast, and Love Hackney Campaign,to champion maternal wellbeing and inspire more women to get active. Completed a community-led photography project to celebrate and promote our swim groups and locations. As we close our first year of trading, we have laid strong foundations for future growth, built a thriving and resilient community, and proven the value of a scalable, cost-effective model to improve maternal wellbeing across the UK.
Our primary stakeholders are the mothers in our community, including volunteer swim hosts and participants. We regularly consult with them through direct messages, and an annual community survey. We also engage regularly with key delivery partners such as GLL, Community Sauna Baths, and local councils through collaborative planning and open dialogue. In response to stakeholder feedback during this reporting period, we: Increased the number of hosted sessions and expanded to additional venues where possible. Improved the onboarding experience for new members through structured host training and more peer-led communication. Enhanced clarity of information and the user experience on the Heylo app. Strengthened safeguarding protocols by appointing a Safeguarding Lead, updating policies, and collecting emergency contact details. Applied for funding to support outreach and diversify our community. While not secured this year, we remain committed to inclusive growth and continue to seek new funding opportunities.
