Grey Gold Giving Back

This week, www.greygold.co.uk, part of the L&G Concrete Flooring Group in Tonypandy, donated a percentage of their t-shirt sales to Mothers Matter — a charity offering vital emotional support to mums who need it most.

By turning clothing into a cause, Grey Gold and its customers are helping make sure no mother faces tough times alone.

Hello, December! 🎄🎅🏻

As the year draws to a close, we often reflect on the journeys we’ve taken.

For those navigating the perinatal period… be it expectation, loss, or adjustment, this month can bring unique emotional challenges.

Our commitment remains steady: providing a warm, non-judgmental space for support. You are not alone. This December, prioritise kindness towards yourself.

Let this month be a time of comfort, community, and continuous care for every family we serve.

We wish you peace and warmth as we head into the new year. 💫

The conversation is changing. . .
Mothers Matter were honoured to deliver a keynote talk at the Perinatal Quality Network (PQN) Annual Forum at the Royal College of Psychiatrists in London.

Mothers Matter felt privileged to present our work to the nation’s leading perinatal clinicians and service managers.

Our message was clear: Quality perinatal care must start with mother-led support. We shared our vital data and lived experience insights to help shape national best practices and advocate for resources, where they are needed most. We shared how community care reduces isolation, provides a safe space and allows parents to be heard and empowered but also saves lives.

It’s not just about treatment; it’s about empowerment and early intervention. Thank you, PQN and RCP, for hosting such a crucial forum. We’re proud to partner with clinical leaders to ensure every mother’s voice is heard.

Mothers Matter. Their health is the foundation of the family.

Perinatal Mental Health Awareness Week:
Let’s Talk About the Real Motherhood Journey

This week, Mothers Matter was dedicated to shining a light on perinatal mental health. The transition to motherhood is beautiful, but it can also be incredibly challenging, and it’s okay if you’re not feeling like yourself.

On Thursday evening we held a Mum-Powerment Event, where staff of Mothers Matter shared their lived experiences and why we are so passionate to work at Mothers Matter. The room was filled with wonderful stories, thoughts shared and resilience. We are proud to empower and show parents that they are not alone.

Perinatal Mental Health (PMH) conditions include PND, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and psychosis. These are illnesses, not failings.

What can you do today?
🩷 For Yourself: Be honest about how you’re feeling. Acknowledge that you are doing your best.

🩷 For a Friend/Partner: Ask, “How are you really doing?” and listen without judgment.

🩷 With Mothers Matter: Reach out to our community home support service, counselling, support line and groups. Visit one of our parenting hubs to meet others and reduce the isolation.

We offer a safe, confidential spaces where your struggles are validated and supported. Support is strength, not a weakness.

We are here to hold space for you.
