Manifesto launch – Pregnancy & Babies Charities Network

9th November 2021

In recent months, the Pregnancy & Babies Charities Network (PBCN) has taken time to reflect upon, review, and revise their manifesto. We are proud to put our name to this important partnership working.

The Covid19 pandemic has shone a bright light on many known inequalities faced by new and expectant parents and their babies. It has emphasised that much needs to be done to reduce inequalities and improve outcomes. The PBCN’s revised manifesto outlines the work the network does as a collective, holding decision-makers to account and encouraging positive change for all, regardless of ethnicity, income, or circumstance. As a member of the PBCN, we are hopeful that the focus and actions highlighted in the updated manifesto can make a difference.

Whilst we want you to be aware of this very important work, it may be a difficult read for some, so please pause and consider your self-care.

You can read the manifesto here and find out which other charities are supporting it here.
