Our 2025–26 Impact Report is here! 💚

This past year, we supported 397 families through pregnancy, birth and early parenthood, and we couldn’t have done it without our incredible volunteers, donors and partners. Thank you!

The report shares what we’ve achieved together and where we’re heading next. As Amma grows, we’re building on what works and continuing to learn from the families we serve.

Thank you for being part of the Amma community and for helping us show up for parents when they need it most.

Just a regular day at Amma 💚

We made up some wee bottles of sweet almond oil as gifts for our mamas. 🥰

A lovely, natural moisturiser for hair and skin, and a little something special to take home.

Over the past two summers, Amma has welcomed interns through the @uofglasgow Find a Solution programme, giving them the opportunity to spend their summer gaining experience while contributing to our work. 💚

It’s been lovely to see the fresh ideas, creativity and energy they’ve brought to our work.

Gemma helped us build our Amma Shop website, while Julianne joined us as a Communications Intern, helping us share more of Amma’s work.

We were also delighted to be shortlisted for the 'Best Internship Provider' Award both times :)

There are lots of ways to get involved with Amma, and we’ll be sharing more opportunities soon.

✨We were delighted to be invited to speak at the @nhsggc BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) Network meeting.

It was lovely to be part of an evening filled with interesting conversations, inspiring speakers, and important discussions around health, organ donation, maternity care, and the South Asian community in Glasgow.

We really enjoyed sharing a little about the work we do at Amma Birth Companions, as well as listening and learning from others.

And of course, the evening ended with some fantastic food at @namakmandi.gla 😍 by @ammabirth

We were delighted to be part of Holyrood Secondary School's YPI Charity Fayre! 🫶🏼

We met hundreds of enthusiastic S3 students choosing charities to research and support through their YPI projects.

As part of our stall, we also showcased a animation created by a group of students who previously chose Amma as their charity for YPI.🤗

With £3,000 in funding available for the winning charity, we're excited to see which causes the students choose and look forward to working with some of them over the next few months!

We were blessed with a sunny day for our yearly Amma Family trip — this time to Balloch Park! 😍

Over 20 mums travelled from across Glasgow to join us, and for many of them, it was their first time taking the train.

We know that transport costs can sometimes stop families from taking part in community activities, so, as always, we made sure transport wasn't a barrier

The little ones had the best time running through the park, while the mums got a chance to relax and enjoy some time together. There was even a wee karaoke session! Along with plenty of games, thanks to our wonderful peer supporters and staff for organising it all 🫶🏼

Add in lunch, snacks, and glorious sunshine, and it was a day to remember. 🥪🍎☀️

If you'd like to support groups like Amma Family, consider donating towards food or transport costs, or signing up for monthly giving.
