Being pregnant, giving birth and becoming a mother can be a wonderful but stressful time in any woman’s life. However, when a woman is forced to seek sanctuary in a strange country the stress is even greater.
Our aims are:
- To ensure asylum seeking and refugee women’s voices are heard and considered when discussing the development of maternity related services and support groups.
- To develop maternity services and support groups that are welcoming and inclusive for pregnant asylum seeking and refugee women and are designed to meet their specific health and social care needs.
- To help asylum seeking and refugee women overcome the barriers they experience when accessing maternity services, understanding their choices and attending for care in a timely manner.
- To develop a supportive community for asylum seeking and refugee women, including a forum for sharing relevant resources.
We are looking to strengthen our current trustee team and would welcome applications from anyone with experience in strategy development, fundraising, maternity/healthcare services or lived experience. This is a rewarding role and role would suit anyone with an interest in maternity services and supporting pregnancy asylum seeking & refugee women.
