It’s an absolute honour to receive the Nation of Sanctuary Award, and we want to thank @welshrefcouncil for an incredible award ceremony last night.
Huge congratulations to all the other award nominees and winners. Together, we are building a culture of hope and welcome.

In 2024, Black women should not be 4 times more likely to die in pregnancy, childbirth and 6 weeks after. This #BMHAW24 we are stepping up our focus on the future, working with @CAVUHB @WGHealthandCare and @RcmWales #AntiRacistWales #NationofSanctuary
Thanks you @LauraSocRes - the talk you gave with our new volunteer cohort was so helpful to their learning - we are lucky to have friends of The Birth Partner Project like you!

This inhumane policy from the UK Government is directly opposed to the values of Wales as a #NationofSanctuary

When it comes to childbirth, awareness is key. Birth trauma can affect mothers and babies, and knowing the risk factors is crucial for support. #BMHAW24

🚨 We are deeply disappointed in the news this morning that the Rwanda Bill has been passed, displaying a blatant disregard for international law and the Supreme Court.

Today our thoughts are with the people who came here to seek safety who now live with a new terror.
That is what the Rwanda bill boils down to. Performative, useless terror serving as a cynical distraction from the real problems we face. We will fight it with everything we have.
Exciting times...we are recruiting to our Board! If you think you're the right fit as one of our Trustees (maybe you're even our new Treasurer?!) please get in touch... birthpartnerproject.org
