Get involved
At Frome Birth Talk, we rely on the generosity of individuals, groups, and organisations to help support the mental health and wellbeing of new parents in our community. Your fundraising efforts can make a significant impact on the lives of mothers, families, and parents who need mental health support during some of the most challenging times in their lives.
​
Whether you are organising a one-off event, taking part in a sponsored activity, or launching a fundraising campaign, your support enables us to provide free professional counselling for mothers in crisis, run support groups for women dealing with baby loss, and offer vital postnatal depression support for families in Frome.
