We’re grateful to the incredible Cardiff & Vale mothers who took part in this project 💜

Together, we explored what an independent advocate for mothers in and could look like.

By sharing their experiences and their interactions with social services, these women have helped Northumbria University to develop a deeper understanding of what meaningful, effective advocacy entails. We hope the insights from this report will contribute to improving outcomes for any woman navigating this complex and emotionally challenging journey.

Pride is about being seen, supported, and safe ❤️🌈

At Kaleidoscope, we’re proud to support LGBTQ+ communities across Wales. We believe in having open, honest conversations about substance use.

We know experiences aren’t always straightforward. That’s why we focus on:

✅ Non-judgemental support
✅ Harm reduction advice
✅ Safe spaces to talk openly

Because everyone deserves support that respects who they are.
