Even the smallest donation can make a huge difference to the women and babies we support.
A pack of nappies or a soft toy for a mum with a new baby
A taxi to take a woman in labour to her local hospital
A bag of groceries for a woman who has just given birth, so she doesn't have to worry about getting to the shops herself
Hospital bag necessities for a woman preparing to give birth
Staff and volunteer costs of visiting a mother and baby at home after birth
"I teach hypnobirthing and antenatal classes in South West London and I donate a percentage of the profits from my group classes to Birth Companions. Every mum-to-be who books one of my classes does so in the knowledge that another mum is directly benefiting from her attendance."

Payroll Giving is a flexible scheme which allows you to give regularly and on a tax-free basis to the charities and good causes of your choice.
Donations are deducted from your pay before tax, so a £10 pledge will only cost £8 for a standard rate tax payer or £6 for a higher rate tax payer.
Payroll Giving (also known as Give As You Earn or workplace giving) is a valuable, long term source of revenue, providing regular income to help charities budget and plan ahead more effectively.
If your company doesn’t have a Pay as You Earn scheme you could encourage them to set one up!
"I wanted to make a difference in the life of other pregnant women and newborn babies who are in less favourable circumstances than me. So I organised an alternative baby shower and asked my guests to contribute towards Birth Companions instead of presents for my baby."
