Today we want to say a heartfelt thank you to Elaine Cooke 💙

On 28th March, Elaine took on the incredible challenge of walking up Pen-Y-Fan alongside close family and friends, in loving memory of her daughter Lauren.

Through her strength, courage, and determination, Elaine has raised an amazing £3,900 to support our work —helping us continue to be there for anyone facing postnatal depression, so that no one has to go through it alone.

We are truly inspired by her resilience and her commitment to raising awareness and helping others.

Elaine, we are so grateful to you for turning such a deeply personal loss into hope for others. Lauren’s memory lives on through your kindness and bravery.

Thank you for making a difference 💙

**Mothers day dread**

We are here for a friendly chat, a listening ear, a safe space to share and offload and to offer some reassurance for anyone who may be dreading the upcoming Mothers Day.

Remember just because you are now a mum, so many of us don't feel the joy we are expected to initially and that is ok.

You are far from alone and a little bit of support really can go a long way so do get in tough and see how we could help you through the tough days on your journey.

Things will get better so hang in there.
