We are a support for vulnerable pregnant women and new mums, and a listening ear for everyone.

We deliver two key services: *Bethel Doula Service and Rapha Listening Service*. Our Doula team is lead by an experienced former NHS midwife and we are commissioned by the NHS to deliver services to perinatal women across Birmingham , Sandwell and Solihull. We provide provide practical and emotional support to our service users and can act as birth partners. Our Listening Service provides support for people experiencing anxiety, low mood, loneliness and so on and who need a friendly ear to help them work through their situation.

✨ Building a Community of Listeners ✨

These are the faces of compassion. Our latest group of Rapha Listening volunteers completed their training, and they're ready to make a real difference in Birmingham.

Every year, we support people experiencing low mood, anxiety, and depression - many on long NHS waiting lists who need someone NOW. Our trained listeners offer what seems simple but is so powerful: a safe, non-judgmental space to be heard.

📞 This year alone: 94 people supported | 376 listening sessions | 236 hours of compassionate support

🙋‍♂️ WE ESPECIALLY NEED MALE VOLUNTEERS
Many men tell us they feel more comfortable talking to other men - but we need more male listeners to meet this need.

💜 COULD YOU GIVE 1 HOUR A WEEK?
✅ Training provided (2 Zoom sessions)
✅ Flexible, remote support
✅ Full support & supervision
✅ Mobile phone provided
✅ Make a real difference in someone's mental health journey

Every person deserves to be heard. Be the listening ear someone desperately needs.

Yesterday was a brilliant day at Bethel! 🌟

We were joined by 10 incredible midwifery students from Birmingham City University who volunteered their time to organise Bethel Baby Bank.

The students worked tirelessly throughout the day, sorting donated baby clothes by age and size, organising nappies and essential items, and ensuring everything is ready for families who need support.

What made this day special:
- Hands-on community partnership with BCU
- Future midwives connecting with community support services
- Hundreds of items organised for local families
- The energy and dedication these students brought to the work

This is the power of community in action. When students, universities, and charities work together, we create real change for families across West Birmingham.

If you're interested in volunteering with Bethel, we have regular opportunities available. Visit our website https://bethelnetwork.org.uk/make-a-difference/ or message us to find out more.

A huge thank you to Birmingham City University and every student who gave their Wednesday to make a difference! 💜

Our recent Rapha Group Wellbeing Session brought together people from across the community to pause, breathe and connect 💜

In a relaxed space, supported by our trained listeners, we talked about stress, low mood and everyday challenges - and shared simple ways to look after our mental health. Fresh fruit, hot drinks and plenty of biscuits definitely helped the conversation flow!

Rapha offers free, confidential listening and wellbeing support for adults in Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.

Today’s CAIRN Away Day was all about partnership working – exploring how we can combine our strengths as charities and community organisations to support more people across Birmingham and the wider region.

Together with our CAIRN partners, we looked at what’s working well, where the gaps are, and how we can join up our services so no one falls through the cracks.

Thank you to everyone who contributed ideas, challenge and encouragement. We’re looking forward to the joint projects and community impact that will grow from this.
