Greater Manchester Doulas CIC is a grassroots organisation run by, for, and with women.

We support women and girls across Greater Manchester, particularly those navigating pregnancy, early motherhood, trauma, and the impacts of violence against women and girls. Our work is rooted in listening, relationship, and trust. We meet women where they are, without judgement or agenda.

Many of the women we support have experienced trauma, isolation, or systems that have not listened to them. We create space for women to be heard, to understand their experiences, and to move forward in ways that feel right for them, at their own pace.

Our support includes community groups, 1:1 sessions, longer-term support, and structured programmes such as the Own My Life course, which supports women to understand patterns of coercion and control and rebuild their sense of self. We also support women through pregnancy, loss, abortion, and early motherhood, and run circles for younger girls.

At the heart of our work is connection. Women building relationships with each other, sharing experiences, and not having to navigate things alone. Many continue to support each other long after our work together ends.

We are constantly sourcing funding to keep our services free or low-cost. Funding is never guaranteed, which is why donations matter. They allow us to continue offering consistent, relationship-based support to women when they need it most.

All donations go directly towards supporting women in Greater Manchester.
