Amma Birth Companions is a Scottish charity that supports parents in Glasgow who might otherwise give birth alone. We provide care, information, and advocacy to ensure parents experiencing multiple disadvantages can give birth and parent safely and with dignity.

Our specialist team of volunteer birth and postnatal companions offers one-to-one practical and emotional support throughout pregnancy, labour and birth, and the early postpartum period. They are trained to deliver culturally safe, trauma-informed care to every individual we serve.

Our midwife and doula-led antenatal classes help to ensure the parents we support are aware of their rights and choices in relation to birth, promoting a greater sense of empowerment and confidence to self-advocate.

Our Amma Family peer support programme cultivates community through weekly drop-in sessions, monthly workshops, and quarterly outings. We foster collaboration amongst participants and build on our clients’ existing strengths, cultural traditions, and knowledge.

Our clients include refugees, people seeking asylum, survivors of human trafficking, and other birthing people experiencing multiple disadvantages.

Amma became a registered charity in May 2019 and is now in its fourth year of operations. To date, we have supported more than 200 clients.
