The majority of the girls we work with are struggling with their mental health. The majority have been through trauma themselves. What the women tend to need most is someone to be kind and a safe space where they can go, without judgement for a bit of advice.
Tyler, who had her son when she was aged 17 during the Covid lockdowns, says the weekly sessions reduce being alone, especially being a young mum - it's really hard.
MumsAid aims to give those it helps a different life to the one they've had. Most of the mums have been referred to the charity by midwives, social workers or healthcare professionals.
At the charity's weekly stay-and-play session, we see mothers engaging with their children while either playing or speaking with charity workers, highlighting the importance of community support.
