Stories from 30 years of Birth Companions

For 30 years, Birth Companions has walked alongside women facing some of the most difficult circumstances during pregnancy, birth and early motherhood.

To mark our 30th anniversary, we’re sharing stories from the people who have shaped Birth Companions and been part of our journey – women we have supported, volunteers, staff, founders, trustees and partners.

Together, their stories and portraits reflect three decades of care, connection and campaigning for change, and the values that continue to guide our work today.

Explore their stories below.
