Dust off your aprons and pick up your wooden spoons – it's time for a festive Big Bake!
Get together with friends, family or colleagues and hold an awareness-raising festive afternoon tea, a mince pie bake off with work colleagues, a community coffee morning or a Christmas cake decorating competition in aid of Action on Postpartum Psychosis.
Your support could help give a cake and a cuppa to a mum at a life changing APP peer support café group.
We'll provide you with a FREE pack full of fundraising tips, ideas, APP goodies and even some of our favourite festive recipes!
Your fundraising could help us increase our offer of peer support which makes such a difference to so many women and their families.
We know our peer support service is vital, life-changing and in some cases life-saving - giving women and family members with experience of PP the opportunity to meet and talk with others.
Our most recent survey of those who have accessed this service found that 97% of respondents said they felt more supported after finding us, 98% feel more informed about PP, and 96% feel more hopeful about the future.
Nearly half of those who completed the survey said that they might not be alive today without the peer support service.
"Speaking with women who truly understand the impact PP has on your whole life has given me hope when I had none" - APP Peer Support beneficiary
But it's not just about raising funds - we hope these events will also help raise awareness of postpartum psychosis and APP.
PLUS - if you hold your event between 2nd - 9th December and donate whatever you raise via our Big Give appeal, it will be match funded, meaning APP will receive twice as much and your fundraising will have TWICE the impact!
