Antenatal Support Boxes
“It’s a beautiful way to give black mothers a hug and tell them they’re more than the statistics. To make them feel like they are heard and seen when doctors and sometimes family members make them feel like they are invisible”
“This made me feel recognised in a way the NHS has not been able to do. Gives great resources and info.”
“It was so positive to see my pregnancy reflected in a box and that others can see that we do really matter. It will open professionals eyes to do better and encourage us to advocate for ourselves more.”
Created with Black birthers in mind and gifted (free of charge), these boxes deliver support and products that feel relevant, supportive, special and high quality.
We received 400+ requests in first 48hours of launch and were able to maximise this engagement to start crucial relationship building.
Included in our hampers are
tips from Black Mothers Matter to support the care received from NHS maternity professionals
some Black literature with a story that may resonate
a journal because sometimes writing things down is a good step to being heard
affirmation postcards because sometimes we need a reminder that ‘you got this’
some gifts because Black pregnancies deserve it
