Blog post now live!!!

New blog post alert! 📣 Kirren shares with us about Sikh bereavement and funerals in relation to baby loss - this can be a triggering topic so please read with care and only if you're in the right mind space for you. buff.ly/3sKhKE6

@Maternity_TEBC CCS are still running! 🙂 it’s just the other bits we aren’t doing such as safe spaces for Black, Asian & ethnic communities going through fertility, Instagram live sessions and support spaces in general.

@CommofCultures We hope we can support the CCS workshops as best as we can. Such an important and valuable resource lost for the community. We will be right with you once you get funding to get back up and running again 🙏
