Maternity Mates

Maternity Mates are volunteers who, alongside midwives and other health care professionals, support mothers-to-be by helping them to understand the issues and decisions that could affect their care. Sister Circle recruits and trains volunteers to provide emotional and practical support during pregnancy, childbirth, and up to three months after giving birth. The women supported are facing challenging and complex situations.
