Amma Birth Companions
Amma provides pregnancy, birth, and parenting support to those facing the greatest barriers within maternity care. Since 2019, Amma has supported hundreds of women and families annually, and is described by NHS Glasgow maternity services as "a truly transformative presence within maternity for the most vulnerable women and families in our communities." Evidence and lived experience gathered through Amma’s direct work drives its wider impact – it informed its landmark Birth Outcomes & Experiences Report, contributed to a Scottish Government action plan on racialised health inequalities, and informed training for midwives - all in pursuit of a more equitable maternity system.
