Steps In For Mums: Steps up to Suicide

Steps In For Mums:
Steps up to Suicide 👟

Join us TOMORROW as we kick off our new challenge for the month of August - September, as we raise awareness of Maternal Suicide.

Make a £5 donation via our Bookwhen, to reserve your space for the 'Teddy Bears Picnic' themed walk and get a sponsorship pack!

We want to bring attention to the unique needs and challenges Welsh mothers and partners face, when it comes to mental health and perinatal suicide. Suicide is a leading cause of death in the perinatal period (pregnancy and 1 year postpartum).

Through education, community engagement and fundraising, we can work toward better mental health care, more supportive systems and ultimately save lives.

The Welsh are known for their sense of community and solidarity, so let's make sure that solidarity extends to the health and well-being of mothers and partners across South Wales!

Let's all aim for a final target of 100,000 steps by the 1st September 2025, this works out at approx 3,333 steps per day on average.

September 10th is Suicide Awareness Day, so let's raise our step counts to mark this day!

Will you step up with us to raise awareness with us?

We will be holding a themed 'Teddy Bears Picnic' Walking Event on Monday 11th August at 10:30am, walking from Mothers Matter Unit in Tonypandy to Barry Sidings, Pontypridd, CF37 2PP.
