We're honoured to have been announced as finalists in the Black Maternal Health Awards 2025 for the ‘Charitable Organisation Impact’ Award 🎉  A huge thank you to The Motherhood Group for recognising our community of practitioners, staff, volunteers, peer supporters and trustees, who through NCT’s services, content, partnerships and campaigning contribute to the vital work to reduce maternal health disparities across the UK.  Our courses bring people together to share information and experience of pregnancy, birth, and life with a baby. Our programmes, Newham Nurture and Leeds Bankside, focus on and support parents who are marginalised based on their race, migration and/or asylum status. We know that Black women and birthing people are disproportionally impacted by unsafe care throughout their maternity journeys, which too often includes being unheard or dismissed. There cannot be progress in maternity services without urgently addressing these disparities. We continue our commitment to using our services and our platform to provide inclusive support, to listen, to call for change, and to ensure that we play our role in creating an equitable future for Black maternal health. NCT is on a journey to make sure everything we do is accessible, inclusive and culturally appropriate. Find out more 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gJiFPpd3
