Company activities and impact

Doulas are trained, relationship-based supporters of the perinatal year and we are an organisation offering accessible care for society's most vulnerable women. We support women who have experienced modern day slavery, sexual and/or domestic violence and abuse, those who are under the age of 20, women who are homeless or living in home office accommodation, such as refugees and asylum seekers. All the women and birthing people we support are living in extreme financial hardship. We have been continuing this vital work across the UK offering support, advocacy and signposting to many vulnerable women during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Our volunteers continue to offer 24/7 on call support for our clients and ensure that they do not spend any time alone during labour and birth. This service benefits each local community as we ensure that the most vulnerable women in financial hardship are supported during a particularly sensitive time. We strive to ensure that our clients are left in a less isolated state, by helping them to connect to their wider community before we sign off. We have continued to expand our departments of language support, therapies and infant feeding support and are finding that these in-house departments offer a unique wraparound service for our clients. We have developed several new in-house trainings to support our 180 volunteers. We have developed new feedback pathways for our clients. We have continued our Mother Tongue training programme, offering vulnerable bi-lingual women free 'doula interpreter' training. The feedback we have received from clients and from referrers has been highly positive.

Consultation with stakeholders

Kate Woods (founder and ceo) Navrup Kaur (co-director) Grace Coles (manager and referrals lead) Amina Hatia (trustee) Thereasa Morgan (referrals team member) Roise Ali (trustee and social media manager) Lorretta Hepburn (safeguarding lead) Phillipa Cresswell (safeguarding second) Akison Ogier (head of area managers) All of our area managers and volunteers Funders: National Lottery The Blue Thread Allen Lainc Other organisations: Birth Companions (London) Project Mama (Bristol) Neighbourhood Doulas (London) Amma (Glasgow) Doula UK (National) The European Doula Network (EU) Birth Partners (Wales) Maternity Mates (London) Mama Village (Somerset) We consulted with our internal stakeholders within the committee and the trustees in bi-weekly meetings and ongoing consultations, whilst our volunteers are in communication with their team leads and area managers throughout each case. Feedback has been very positive from our service users this year so there has not been any action taken to change or improve anything as of yet. We have consulted with our funders several times this year, updating them and sharing information between us. We are in continual touch with other organisations which we sometimes partner with, to secure a team of supporters.
