Not every woman is fortunate enough to have the support around her to make pregnancy, birth and parenthood or adoption as easy and joyful as it can be. Life Charity are here to change that. Offering the support a woman needs, right from wondering whether she is pregnant, through free counselling, practical support and even housing, Life Charity wants to be here to every step of the journey into motherhood. 

Here are three ways that you can help:

Donate

The Life Charity Emergency Appeal has now passed the £90,000 mark, and this has given Life the breathing room to continue immediate levels of support despite the economic crisis. But now, women in crisis need your support for the long-term, throughout their entire pregnancy journey. The best way for you to help with this is to become a recurring donor. Even a small amount monthly can make a big difference. Click here to become a part of the most important story of someone’s life.

Listen

Life’s National Helpline is staffed by highly skilled listeners and counsellors, who have chosen to follow the calling offered by Pope Francis, to “be a person who listens to what other people need.” Life now offer accredited counselling skills training so others can also provide compassionate, skilled listening in their current community, pastoral or professional roles. All the profits from the course fees go toward supporting Life’s important mission. If you feel that gaining a qualification in counselling skills could benefit you, call 07483 027463 or email ncfe@lifecharity.org.uk to find out more!

Remember

The final way to offer support is to leave a gift in your will to Life. Every gift, large or small, enables Life to continue to serve those women who are most in need. When someone doesn’t have the support of family, it’s very difficult for them to imagine caring for their own. With your gift, Life can be that support and walk with women throughout their pregnancy and beyond. For more information about how to leave a gift in your will to Life, click here.
