As someone who runs community based groups (online in Covid), my work reaches and benefits thousands of pregnant and birthing women, people and families. These have become a more than full time role.
I facilitate the large Home Birth Support Group UK, the Freebirth And Emergency Childbirth Support Group UK and a number of other pregnancy and alternative smaller groups and due in groups, moving into positive parenting and supporting women and families in their life and parenting journey, in The Village, as well as awareness raising and campaigning through, They Said To Me and The Birth Activist podcast.
These groups and my time help support national and local communities and are a beautiful online community helping thousands of families a year.
My community support goes way beyond what is visible online - sometimes it is covering postage costs, gifts to people in need, free support, or free places on my paid groups and courses. Your donations help facilitate this and the constant support I provide through groups.
Running these groups and pages takes time and energy, their content is vital to so many and all donations help enable me to continue this important work. If you would like to support me in this, and so support women and birthing people, please consider making a one off or regular donation, from £2, all of which are received with thanks and enable me to continue my activism and support in the birth world while supporting my family.
I also love the words and messages you leave me - they mean the world to me.

With love and brightest blessings.

Sam I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work! Being a part of your group has given me confidence and control over my own body and birth! I never would have gotten the amazing healing birth of my second child if it wasn’t for your extensive knowledge and the time and effort you put into your support group! I flipping love ya and I’ve never even met you!
Laura
Thank you for always being so kind and supportive
Penny Froget
I wrote a post last night and was overwhelmed by the number of responses I received from the group members, sharing love, advice and positivity. I have a clearer and more uplifted mindset today and this is down to the community that Sam has created and nurtured. Thank you ❤
Nicola
Thank you so much for the work you do running this group and the Freebirth education one, it's thanks to the support and advice from this community I was able to overcome the obstacles repeatedly thrown at me by the NHS and successfully birth at home - despite the service being suspended at the last minute and it becoming an unintentional freebirth!
Chloe | £21
Your Facebook group is a fantastic resource that helped me on my journey towards a healing HBAC. Thank you.
Penny | £5
Thank you for all that you do Sam and for the bounty of knowledge you share with us in the HBSG! Sorry I'm not in a position to donate more but it doesn't reflect how valuable you are to so many birthing women ❤
Jenny | £20
Thank you Sam, your home birth Facebook group was so so helpful for me throughout pregnancy. I had an amazing BBA water birth back in June and without all the information on your guides I might have made different decisions towards the end.

Thank you Samantha for all you do to support the homebirth community, I find your Facebook groups an invaluable source of advice and support, allowing me to educate and empower myself to battle against a utterly broken maternity system.

I have been in your facebook group for a few weeks and it has really helped me prepare for my homebirth. Thank you for creating this community and your insights!
Katie
The birth stories, advice abs links to research were my obsession and my back up when I went to 42+4. An incredible resource that I will be using when I have my second child, when, unfortunately, very little is likely to have advanced. We’ll keep chipping away with people like Samantha and the women she empowers.

Thank you Samantha and group for supporting me in my home birth.

The help and support of Sam and the Home Birth Support Group during my pregnancy has been incredible. I feel so lucky to have been part of this community and hope it continues to be an ever growing resource to support women make empowered choices during their pregnancies
Gemma
Thank you Sam for all your work on the Home Birth Facebook group. I learned so much ahead of the birth of my second baby, and wish I'd known so much before my first! I had the most beautiful and empowering home birth in July 2021, having felt very anxious about it following the death of my mother. I'd recommend it to everyone, whether they're planning a home birth or not.
Jessica | £21

This group is worth every penny. Samantha has devoted her time and energy to creating an alternative birthing /motherhood group that is inclusive of different ethnicities, backgrounds, diversities and backgrounds and i am so so grateful for this. I feel this group is a safe space for me to explore my own motherhood journey and learn from others, connect with new moms and share experiences. Thank you to Samantha and those that support for creating such a space 💚💛❤️
