Black birth worker forum| There’s power in being in a space where your experience is understood.
Our Black Birth Worker Forum is a safe, supportive space to connect, share, and grow with other Black birth workers. A place for real conversations, peer support, and culturally relevant learning.
Together, we’re building stronger networks, reducing isolation, and supporting wellbeing in the work we do.
Our first meeting will be held online, followed by a mix of online and in-person sessions.
If this speaks to you, we’d love to have you involved.

Have you used maternity services or supported someone who has?
Please take time to share your views and experiences with the investigation team. It is the only way to bring about changes.
We all like to moan and groan about things but don't take complaints down the right chanels. Now is the time to take action and speak out about your care. Be proactive and make your voice heard.
All set ready to start important discussions around midwifery and maternity practices at the start of Parliament Week. Beautiful space gifted to Mimosa midwives to use with wonderful surroundings.
