WHAT A WEEK.

We have had to sit and let it all sink in.

First of all, massive thanks to all the wonderful women who participated this week. Many more than in the photos!

Massive shout out to for joining us and spending the end of the week delivering the most amazing, group tailored training.

We are completely astounded by the commitment and the hive mind we have here in Tayside. These beautiful people banded together, had their (AMAZING) contacts come to talk to us and offer us help to steer us in the right direction.

Cassie and Arleen spent the first half of the week discussing the role of a volunteer team member within our wee charity, the policies and procedures we have in place to keep us and our services users safe (which was actually a really interactive and rewarding session!) and chatting about the basics of birth, common interventions and helping clients to create a birth plan.

The second half of the week was led by Nicola Goodall, and it’s safe to say that everyone is excited to be part of the Red Tent community. Some are already planning take their learning further, whether that's joining Nicola's Herbarium or diving into postpartum study.

Honestly guys, we are so beyond grateful and proud of everyone of you for showing up and bringing your fire to make the good stuff happen.

If you are inspired and keen to get on the next round of training then please use the link in our bio to get involved, or click here if you're viewing this on Facebook: Volunteer Application Form https://forms.gle/fq87gPjeRgQwMpaA8

Our next info call is on Thursday 11th December at 10am, and the next training we have scheduled is in central Aberdeen in the last week of April 2026. Places are being booked up already, so now is the time to start thinking about it if you would like to join us!

Calling everyone who has been thinking of joining us!

Hello! The response to the Dundee training has been immense, so thank you to everyone who has been in touch 😍🙏🏼

Did you miss the group calls?
Do you have FOMO?
Were you keen to offer support to pregnant mums and folks, but life got in the way and you forgot to apply?
Maybe you want to be involved but can’t commit to birth support?

Don’t worry, we’ve got you! Parent helpers and trustees are also needed, as well as birth partners.

If you wanted to be added to the birth partner training waiting list, get in touch and let us know. If you're considering being a parent helper or another behind the scenes role, we will likely be able to squeeze you in last minute (as we're now in a much bigger venue the first two days, which is fully wheelchair accessible!)

We know that attending births is sometimes a logistic minefield, but you can still get involved with our lovely wee charity either supporting families during pregnancy, or supporting your fellow volunteers ☺️

We have had so much interest in the project we have opened up a couple of extra places for birth partner training!

We have a contact call via zoom to give you an idea of what you can expect from us, the project and the training days!

If you were curious about becoming a birth partner/doula and wanted to find out more, now is your chance!

And it’s also in our bio!

Cassie and Arleen are looking forward to meeting more new birth partners so come say hi!
