Thank you to 'London's coolest choir' Some Voices, who have chosen to support APP at their Christmas 'Seasonal Speakeasy' concert this year.

Some Voices are supporting APP after they tragically lost one of their members earlier this year, they say: "Earlier this year Some Voices tragically lost a member and friend of our community to a very rare but very serious mental health condition. Postpartum Psychosis is a severe, but treatable, form of mental illness that occurs after having a baby. It can happen ‘out of the blue’ to women without previous experience of mental illness, and affects 1,400 women in the UK every year.

Every term we support a carefully selected charity, and this term we are proudly supporting ‘Action on Postpartum Psychosis’ who offer vital support for families affected by the illness, as well as fund life- changing research and training. Some Voices have already raised nearly £200 for APP from this terms social events, and we plan to increase this figure dramatically over the coming weeks through our upcoming show ’Seasonal Speakeasy’. We hope to see you there."

Charlotte and her huge team of 25 runners (!) completed the Richmond 10K last weekend, in memory of her sister, Amy. They had a wonderfully supportive, sunny, and emotional day, celebrating Amy's life on Saturday 20th October running in Richmond.

Charlotte said "The support has been simply amazing and it’s down to Ames being the wonderful person she was; completely adored and the best mum ever. It was an emotional day but the sun was shining."

Thank you to Angela, who is running the Reading Rivermead 10km on Sunday 4th November in aid of APP!

Angela says: "Three years ago I personally benefited from attending the 'APP art retreat in Devon', which was a really positive experience. Mothers who had recovered or in recovery were able to meet, eat, enjoy each others company, share experiences and heal through actively participating in art projects. This was an extremely beneficial and therapeutic experience for everyone who attended and I knew then that I wanted to give back and do something to raise awareness of this small charity which greatly benefits women who have suffered from Postpartum Psychosis. I hope with your help we can raise some money for APP and help women with their recovery and support their research too."

Thank you so much Angela, we hope you have a fantastic day on 4th November and wish you all the best with the training!
