If you’re at the Ballingdon Fete today, do come by and say hello.

I’ve got some of my photos on display to purchase. All money goes towards the running of the group.

Hi everyone, I’ve been a bit quiet on the socials (although the group has been going ahead as planned).

I’ve got a busy weekend coming up. I’ve got the session happening on Saturday from 10:30 to 12:30 and then I’m at the Ballingdon Fair on Sunday. I’ll be there from around 9 setting up ready for the gates opening.

I haven’t done this event before so it’s going to be exciting to see the turn out and see all the different stalls.

I hope to see a lot of you there.

We are a judgement free zone. All PANDAS groups will welcome you just as you are. It’s a space for you to feel safe, connect with other parents who may be at a similar stage to you, and have some time for you (and your little one).

Becoming a parent can, for some, be a scary experience. It's something that no one can ever truly be prepared for. That is why PANDAS Foundation is there for those parents who go through PND. The charity as a whole is there to offer support to anyone who might need it through the WhatsApp service, bookable calls, zoom calls and the face-to-face groups.

Every service has volunteers who have lived experiences of PND and can offer invaluable advice and offer support, whichever route you may go down.

The different services are there to help so if you find that you can't manage groups but are happy with calls or groups, or both, then just go on to our website (www.pandasfoundation.org.uk) to find your nearest group or book a call at a time that is convenient for you.

It can be difficult for people to attend groups, new faces, getting yourself ready, getting the baby ready, making sure you have everything for all eventualities. Sometimes, by the time you've got the energy to do all that and get out of the front door, it might feel that it might not be worth it but even if it is to just go along and have a cup of tea.

If you are finding that you might be needing to venture out this Saturday (22nd) for a little while, do come along to the Phoenix Centre between 10.30 and 12.30.

For over a decade, our leading UK charity’s free services and community have been here to provide hope, empathy and support to the families affected by a perinatal mental illness and to support parents from conception through to birth and beyond.

If you’re feeling unsure about attending a PANDAS group, hopefully this will put your worries at ease. It doesn’t matter if your baby (or you) cry, you need to feed or change them, you want to be quiet or just take it all in. We have all been there. Our trained volunteers completely understand, and there is zero judgement. Just a safe space, a warm drink, and people who get it.
