0The Pregnancy and Parents Centre (PPC) is a local, independent charity overseen by a group of voluntary trustees. Staff, facilitators, practitioners and volunteers run the Centre day-to-day. The PPC believes that supportive networks, a strong sense of community and strong family cohesion are invaluable during the transition from pregnancy to parenthood and beyond. Together, they contribute to positive mental health and wellbeing by increasing confidence and reducing anxiety, isolation and stress. Through a timetable of groups, drop-in sessions, workshops and courses, the PPC aims to be open and welcoming, and provide much-needed emotional support, information and practical help.
We believe that people make the best choices for themselves and their families when they have balanced and comprehensive information, non-judgemental support, and confidence in themselves. We respect parents’ different circumstances and choices around birth, and create a sense of community during the transition from pregnancy to parenthood. We believe this contributes to positive mental health and wellbeing.
