Volunteer

Do you believe that no-one should have to birth alone?

Become a Birth Partner Volunteer:

Our volunteers stand alongside women and birthing people as they prepare for birth, in labour and while they adjust to life afterwards. Birth partners are trained and equipped with resources to share, to empower others.

There is a secret in our culture and it is not that birth is painful but that women are strong!

- Laura Stavoe Harm
