Mothers Matter

✨ Thank you ✨

As we close this year, we want to pause and say the biggest thank you to everyone who has supported, trusted, believed in, and walked alongside Mothers Matter 💛

This year alone, over 5,000 families have been supported through our services:
• 255 families supported in the home
• 1,009 families supported through our baby bank
• 54 families supported with food parcels
• 2,880 parents supported through our hub-based classes
• 865 families supported through one-to-one counselling
We have supported women through domestic violence and r**e, stood beside 16 families in child protection conferences, and helped ensure 8 children were able to remain safely with their families with Mothers Matter support.
We also continue to support parents navigating PLOs and social services involvement, often at the most frightening times of their lives.

And this doesn’t even begin to capture the countless parents who walk through our doors at breaking point where we sit them down, make a cuppa, listen without judgement… and they leave feeling a little lighter.
This work is only possible because of community, compassion, and trust.
Thank you for being part of this journey — we are so grateful 🧡💙💛

As we move into the festive season

we want to gently remind everyone to stay safe, be kind to yourselves, and take a moment to notice the small things around you, a warm drink, a quiet moment, a kind word, a familiar face.

Gratitude doesn’t have to be big, sometimes it’s simply getting through the day.

We also know that Christmas isn’t a joyful or easy time for everyone. For some, it can bring grief, loneliness, loss, or heavy emotions that feel even louder at this time of year.

If that’s you, please know you’re not alone, and there is no “right” way to feel.

Wherever you are this season celebrating, surviving, or somewhere in between you matter.

Be gentle, reach out if you need to, and remember that support is always okay to ask for. 💛

Sending love, warmth, and compassion to you all this festive season. 🎄✨

From all the team at Mother's Matter ###

This years toy appeal exceeded any of our expectations, the generosity and kindness of our community was just unbelievable. It has been a hugely stressful time for Mothers Matter making sure ll the toy appeal went out. It was also hugely emotional this year. The amount of poverty we have witnessed this year is just awful and it shouldn't be happening.

Our huge thanks to the staff at the royal glamorgan theatres department, urology, endoscopy and the anaesthetic department all contributed to sending christmas cheer 2025 and donated over 200 toys to us this year.❤️

Here is a quick message from the lady who organised it:
I am absolutely blown away myself by the generosity of everyone who has helped this be such a success and deliver christmas cheer ensuring everyone has a gift and is thought of 🥰 ranging from newborn up to the elderly including vulnerable adults the reach has been far this year and i love watching it grow ❤️

Thank you so much also your a complete inspiration you and your amazing team blessed to be a small part ❤️

Huge thank you to for your really kind donation of 200 selection boxes. These will be distributed out to all the families in the toy appeal this year. It's people like this who really help us make a difference in our community

With Christmas and the New Year fast approaching you’ll begin to see people reflecting on their year of achievements, special moments and fond memories but know that if this isn’t you, if this year came with struggles, hard times or grief, if this year was more about survival then that’s okay too.

Christmas isn’t always the most wonderful time of the year. Be kind, you don’t always know what people may be going through.

Remember that through it all you are not alone, Mothers Matter are here to support you in every way that we can ✨ and no matter how hard things might be there is hope ❤️
