During the year 2023–24, Matriarch MCR CIC has focused on supporting new mothers and families in North Manchester through a range of accessible, community-based activities. - Postpartum Support Circles: We hosted regular postpartum support circles, providing a safe and welcoming space for mothers to share experiences, reduce isolation, and build peer support networks. - Wellbeing Activities: We delivered baby massage sessions and forest walks, promoting parent-infant bonding, wellbeing, and opportunities for families to connect with nature and each other. - Online Groups: Our online groups ensured ongoing support and inclusion for those unable to attend in person, helping to maintain a sense of community and continuity of care. - Birth Debrief Sessions: We offered 1:1 birth debrief sessions, enabling women to discuss and process their birth experiences in a supportive environment. - Empowering Local Mothers: We worked closely with local mothers, supporting and training them to offer sessions to the community. This approach not only expanded the range of activities available but also empowered women to take on leadership roles and share their skills. - Increasing Access and Knowledge: Through our activities and outreach, we have increased women’s knowledge of, and access to, local services and provisions available to them. These activities have helped improve mental wellbeing, reduce feelings of loneliness, and empower women through shared experience, peer leadership, and professional support. Our work has directly benefited families and the wider community in North Manchester, contributing to stronger social networks and greater awareness of local resources.
We recognise the importance of consulting with all our stakeholders to ensure our services remain relevant, accessible, and responsive to community needs. Our stakeholders include not only the mothers and families who participate in our activities, but also the wider community of professionals and organisations who work with birthing women. Throughout 2023–24, we gathered regular feedback from participants via feedback forms after each of our activities, including support circles, baby massage sessions, forest walks, online groups, and 1:1 birth debriefs. These forms invited attendees to share their experiences, suggest improvements, and highlight any unmet needs. We reviewed this feedback on an ongoing basis and used it to shape our programme, introduce new activities, and enhance our existing support. In addition, we maintained ongoing communication with local midwives, health visitors, and other organisations working in the field of maternal and infant wellbeing. Through meetings and email contact, we informed them about the services we offer, enabled them to refer individuals into our service, and welcomed their professional feedback. This collaborative approach has helped us to remain informed about wider community needs, avoid duplication of services, and ensure that our support complements the work of other providers. By engaging both service users and professional partners, we have ensured that our activities are well-aligned with the needs and priorities of the North Manchester community.
