Access Fund

We believe that everyone has a right to have a positive and supported birth experience and to the best possible start in life.

The Doula Access Fund provides free support during pregnancy, labour and after the birth of a baby to those experiencing disadvantage and financial hardship.  Each applicant is referred to us by a health care professional, social worker or charitable partner.

A doula is there as a continuous emotional and physical support and gives kind and respectful nonjudgmental care. The aim is to empower and give confidence to the parent to make the best, informed choices about their birth and how to care for their baby. Doulas do not give clinical advice. Doulas have a wide network and can signpost new families to free services in the area.

Doula UK Access Fund Doulas have all completed approved Doula UK approved training, safeguarding training, have a current DBS and are insured.
