When I became a parent, I quickly realised that while there’s endless advice about nappies, feeding, and sleep, there’s far less about the emotional side of it all — the overwhelm, the loneliness, the quiet fears you sometimes don’t even know how to name.

It was the small acts of kindness that made the biggest difference: a message from a friend saying “You’re doing great,” a cup of tea dropped at my door, a moment of feeling seen. Those tiny gestures added up to something powerful: connection, hope, and strength.

Not every parent has that network around them. That’s why Frome Birth Talk is so important. They offer a safe, compassionate space for parents who are struggling — a listening ear when it’s needed most. And right now, they need us, too.

This year, they are expecting a 53% increase in referrals, which makes their services even more crucial. However, with support like this being cut in many areas, they can only continue their work if the community comes together.

PASS THE LOVE is about building a chain of small kindnesses that ripple outwards: a message, a donation, an invitation to keep it going. Together, we can show parents they’re not alone — and help keep vital support available for every family who needs it.
