Amma Birth Companions

Amma is a Glasgow-based charity that provides vital services to ensure women and birthing people from migrant backgrounds and other underserved groups are supported during pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood.

Our services include birth and postnatal companionship, peer support, infant feeding support, and antenatal education. We also advocate for systemic changes aimed at tackling structural and health inequalities, informed by the lived experiences of the individuals we support.

Our team of staff and volunteer companions are highly trained to provide culturally safe, trauma-informed care to the individuals we support.

Since our inception in May 2019, we have provided perintatal companionship access to community for more than 500 people.
