Thank you to the incredibly talented singer and songwriter, Amy Wadge, for becoming an ambassador for Mothers Matter.

She has co-written tracks with Ed Sheeran, including “Thinking Out Loud” for which she won the 2016 Grammy Award for Song of the Year. Amy has also had the pleasure of writing with artists such as Dianna Ross, Alicia Keys , Beyonce, Keith Urban, Kacey Musgraves, Stormzy, Jonas brothers , John Legend, Camila Cabello, Mika, Lady A and most recently Andrea Bocelli. We are absolutely blown away to have her onboard.

Kimberley Chatfield, Chatfield Training - First Aid Ambassador

“I first met the Mothers Matter team when I delivered some free Paediatric First Aid Awareness sessions for them in early 2024. I was absolutely blown away by the level of support they offer to families, and in particular, their focus on perinatal mental health and wellbeing. Some of my closest friends and family members have struggled with difficulties surrounding pregnancy and birth – I remember the significant challenges my own Mum faced, too, but public awareness and support in the 90’s was virtually non-existent. Now, thankfully, things are changing, and in no small part because of the wonderful work of organisations like Mothers Matter!
 
I’m absolutely thrilled to be an ambassador for Mothers Matter. To see first-hand the incredible, inspiring and empowering work they do in Rhondda Cynon Taf and far beyond is wonderful, and the standard they set is one which I hope can be mirrored more broadly in services throughout the UK. I am thrilled to support them in delivering paediatric first aid courses to parents and families.”

Jess Halfpenny

“I’m a Mum of two young girls and know how vital it is to have that support around you before during and after birth. I experienced a very traumatic birth with my second daughter.  Although I was fortunate enough to have my village around me supporting us through that time, I couldn’t help but think of the parents who experience trauma who don’t have the same support. So when I saw the incredible work Mothers Matter were doing for families in South Wales, Iwas thrilled to be able to help and come on board as an ambassador.
The support that Mothers Matter provide is life changing for the women and families they help.  I’ve been blown away by the staff’s dedication and passion and I’m honoured to be a small part of it. I hope by raising awareness and sharing my story, it can help other people not feel alone.

Be kind to yourself on your journey to parenthood Pregnancy and the journey into parenthood can bring so many emotions with them. For some it feels straightforward, for others it’s complicated, painful, uncertain or exhausting. And for many, it’s all of those things at once.Conceiving, staying pregnant, feeling safe in your body and in your mind, and becoming a parent are not simple experiences. They are shaped by loss, fear, hope, love, trauma, medical journeys, relationships and expectations that often go unseen.Every story is different. Every path is valid.What matters most is kindness. Kindness to yourself on the hard days. Kindness to others when you don’t know their full story.If you’re on this journey and finding it heavy, you’re not alone. We see you, we believe you, and we are here to walk alongside you 🤍Every journey is different. ... See MoreSee Less
Big feelings can arrive suddenly. One moment you’re coping, the next it feels overwhelming, messy or too much to hold.The RAIN technique is a gentle way to slow things down when emotions feel loud. It’s not about fixing yourself or making the feelings disappear. It’s about noticing what’s there and responding with care rather than judgement.Recognise what you’re feeling, without pushing it away.Acknowledge where you are right now, even if it’s uncomfortable.Inquire with curiosity instead of criticism.And remember you are not your thoughts, your fear or your distress.You are allowed to feel what you feel. You are allowed to take things one moment at a time. And you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here, walking alongside you 🤍 ... See MoreSee Less

As we step into a new year, we’re gently reminded that change doesn’t have to be loud or dramatic to be meaningful.Embracing change can be as simple as choosing yourself a little more. Letting go of what no longer serves you. Giving yourself permission to grow at your own pace.At Mothers Matter, we know that change can feel exciting, frightening, hopeful and overwhelming all at once. And that’s okay. You don’t have to have it all figured out to take the next step.As we move into 2026, we’d love to knowWhat is one thing you’re going to change for yourself this year?This year is all about you#newyearnewme #MentalWellbeing #PerinatalMentalHealth #parentsupport #mothersmattercymru ...
