The charity for women facing the unexpected.
No one should face pregnancy or pregnancy loss alone.
Today’s world makes it incredibly difficult to have a child, whether that is due to finances, relationships, career interruptions or other concerns; Life is a pregnancy support charity and we’re here to support women and families to explore these issues and overcome their barriers.
A woman who comes to us finds a safe space to explore her thoughts and feelings about what is happening for her, and we support her in every way we can to overcome challenges and thrive.
