@Business_Stream Hi there thank you for replying. No I wasn't able to get our charity number accepted by your system and when I tried to log into our account it said I had wrong info so I asked for a password change and the email never arrived 😖

[Pregnancy and Parents Centre Edinburgh @edinburgh_ppc]

Hey @Business_Stream we are trying to apply for an exemption but your system won't accept our charity number. All good at Oscr so unsure why we can't proceed. Any ideas?

Over simplification of course ...made me chuckle but was thinking about you and all your diversity work @emanuelatilley

@annielovett12 @EdinUniLocal Thanks Annie! We are starting to gear up for a big Volunteer project for Sept 22 (if I say 192 that will probably give you some idea of the no of volunteers we will need 😅 so we will get in touch with EdinUniLocal x

[Canongate Youth @Canongateyouth]

We're looking forward to seeing how we can work better together with the @edinburgh_ppc after a lovely meeting! A reminder that we do run a social group for young parents, currently here at CY*, on Thursday afternoons - for all parents under 25!

@Canongateyouth Fantastic to meet you on Thursday - despite the confusion on our part 🤪. Looking forward to working together 🤝

[Pregnancy and Parents Centre Edinburgh @edinburgh_ppc]

Our Yoga for Pregnancy groups are also a great place to find new friendships in pregnancy, and each session includes time to discuss any challenges you may find during this time, in a safe and supportive environment.
We're always here for you, mothers. You're not alone❤

Today starts Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week 2022.
~20% of women go through perinatal mental illness and, according to a survey by the @PMHPUK, many feel unable to seek treatment due to perceived stigma.

Pregnant women and mothers need support, and this year's theme - ❤ The Power of Connection ❤ - reminds us how important it is to have strong links in our community to support each other, and to share spaces where we can feel safe to talk about the challenges of motherhood.
