Bethel Health and Healing Network We are a support for vulnerable pregnant women and new mums, and a listening ear for everyone.

We deliver two key services: *Bethel Doula Service and Rapha Listening Service*. Our Doula team is lead by an experienced former NHS midwife and we are commissioned by the NHS to deliver services to perinatal women across Birmingham , Sandwell and Solihull. We provide provide practical and emotional support to our service users and can act as birth partners. Our Listening Service provides support

Behind every calm moment, there is often someone quietly showing up. This is what a teenage mum without family support told us about her time with our YUMS programme. Our volunteers are there in the small moments too, not just the big ones. That is what wraparound support looks like. πŸ’œ

Relive the night with us πŸŽ‰πŸ’œ

Swipe through some of our favourite moments from the 20th Anniversary Fundraising Ball & KAVS Award Presentation, twenty years of Bethel, celebrated in one unforgettable evening at Edgbaston Park Hotel.

From the laughter on the dance floor to the quiet, proud moments as our KAVS Award winners were announced, this night captured exactly what 20 years of community has built. πŸ₯‚

We're so grateful to everyone who came, danced, celebrated and gave, you made this possible.

Want to help us build the next 20 years? Link in bio to donate or find out how to volunteer. πŸ‘†



If you'd like, I can also draft the Reel version (shorter, punchier text overlay lines rather than a full caption) since the calendar lists "Carousel or Reel" as the format.

What a night. πŸ’œ

On 18 July we marked 20 years of Bethel Health & Healing Network with our Fundraising Ball and first KAVS Award Presentation at Edgbaston Park Hotel, bringing together two decades' worth of supporters, volunteers, families and friends in one room.

Thank you to every guest who came, every sponsor who backed us, and every KAVS Award winner recognised on the night. Twenty years of the Starfish Doula Service, the Rapha Listening Service and our Health Champions programme has only been possible because of people like you choosing to stand with Birmingham families.

We'll be sharing more photos, stories and highlights from the night over the coming weeks, so watch this space. And if you were there, tag us or drop a comment with your favourite moment from the evening!
