We had a fantastic time at the Teens to 25 Young Mums event on Wednesday, organised by The Happy Mums Foundation.✨

We were joined by the lovely Kelsey from Healthwatch Westmorland and Furness, who got stuck in with the team in her new role as an Engagement Officer.

We heard from some young mums about their experiences of support and care during and after pregnancy.

If you're a young mum living in Cumberland, we would love to know about your experiences.

You can let us know your thoughts via email to: info@healthwatchcumberland.co.uk

Government plans to end the existence of an independent voice for patients and service users in health and social care have come under challenging scrutiny today with the publication of a major new report by the respected think tank, the King’s Fund.

Yesterday, we went to the Teen to 25 Young Mums event at the People First Conference Centre in Carlisle, organised by The Happy Mums Foundation.❣️

The event provided an inviting and supportive space for young mums to connect with local organisations, support groups and other mums.

The Healthwatch Cumberland team went along to find out what local young mums think about the care they received during their pregnancy and after becoming a mum.
