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, Hanukkah bake off, mince pie coffee morning or Christmas cake decorating competition in aid of Action on Postpartum Psychosis.
What's more, if you hold your event and donate whatever you make via our Big Give Christmas appeal between 3rd-10th December, all your donations will be DOUBLED, thanks to a generous supporter and the Big Give.
Your support could help give a cake and a cuppa to a mum at an 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 100% of respondents said they felt less isolated after finding us, 93% feel more informed about PP, and 82% feel less negative about their experience of PP. One in three women with PP 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.
