Shejmin Akhtar, a researcher at University of Liverpool, is inviting South Asian women to take part in a study exploring experiences of autism in adulthood. She hopes to amplify voices that are often missing from existing research.

Women aged 18+ who were born in the UK (or moved here before age five), identify as South Asian, and are fluent in English can take part. The study involves a remote interview lasting about 1 hour 15 minutes, with reimbursement provided. You can skip any questions or stop at any point if you feel uncomfortable.

If you’re interested or would like more details, please contact Shejmin Akhtar, shejmin.akhtar@liverpool.ac.uk

🤱🌍 World Breastfeeding Week – 1st to 7th August

This week we’re celebrating the strength, care, and commitment behind every breastfeeding journey.

Breastfeeding can be a beautiful experience — but it’s not always easy. Support, information, and encouragement make all the difference.

If you need breastfeeding support:

💬 Speak to your Midwife or Health Visitor
🌐 Visit www.nhs.uk/start4life
📞 Call the National Breastfeeding Helpline on 0300 100 0212
👶 Or attend a Breastfeeding Drop-In Group:

🗓 Thursdays
📍 Coronation Road Children’s Centre, Radcliffe
🕙 10:00 – 12:00
(Please note: Not running on 25/12/25 or 01/01/26)

Let’s support all parents, reduce stigma, and celebrate every drop. 💚
