The Project MAMA team has been taking part in the Black Maternity Matters 6-month training programme, and it’s been incredibly powerful.

In the UK, Black women are over twice as likely to die during pregnancy or the postnatal period than White women. Stillbirth rates of Black babies are also over twice those for White babies. The programme brings together professionals, working across perinatal services, to reflect, learn and take action to address these stark inequalities.

For our team, it’s been a space to listen, reflect and challenge our thinking. It has strengthened how we embed anti-racism at Project MAMA and advocate for more equitable maternity care for the mamas we stand alongside.

A huge thank you to the team for creating such an important and brave space for learning and change 🧡

The amazing women who make up the Project MAMA village remind us every day that hope happens here 🧡

We are so grateful for the dedicated staff team behind our work, the volunteers who give their time and expertise so generously, the organisations we are proud to partner with, and most of all the mamas we have the privilege of standing alongside.

Hope lives in community, solidarity and showing up for one another, especially during difficult times.

🌻 Hold on to Hope 🌻

We know that last week’s elections have left many in our community feeling frightened and uncertain.

Today and every day, we stand with refugee and migrant communities. You belong here 🧡

Don’t give up hope. Together, we are stronger, and love will always be louder than hate.

In solidarity,
The Project MAMA Team

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating 🌙

We know that this year many people have observed Ramadan while living through forced displacement.

At Project MAMA, we’re holding close the families in our community and around the world who are marking this time in difficult circumstances or far from their loved ones. We stand with you and wish you a peaceful Eid 🧡

At Project MAMA, we’re in awe of the strength and love that the parents we walk alongside show every day.

Many women in our community are navigating pregnancy and raising little ones while rebuilding their lives in a new place and language. Their courage and determination to create a safe future for their families is inspiring.

This , stand in solidarity with displaced mamas by becoming a monthly supporter.

Last month, Baroness Amos published the interim findings from her review into maternity and neonatal services in England.

The report reinforces what families and community organisations have long been saying: maternity care is not experienced equally.

Black and Asian women, families living in deprived areas, and parents facing language barriers or insecure immigration status are more likely to experience poor outcomes.

The review recognises that for some women, maternity services feel like a system that is “not for them”.

This is why Project MAMA exists.

We walk alongside mamas who face deep disparities on their journeys from pregnancy to parenthood. We advocate for equitable and compassionate care grounded in culturally sensitive, trauma-informed and language accessible practice.

Thank you for standing with us and being part of the movement 🧡
