Help Save Happy Mums and Ensure No Mum Faces Challenges Alone

For over 10 years, Happy Mums has provided free maternal mental health and wellbeing support to families across Cumbria and online. We have supported over 1,000 families, but our services are now at risk due to a critical funding gap.

Whether you’d like to donate, fundraise, raise awareness or introduce us to potential supporters, every action makes a difference.

Why We Need Your Help

Over 1,000 families supported since 2015
75% of mums attending Happy Mums receive no other mental health support
92% report improved wellbeing
Less than 3 months of reserves remaining

Without urgent support, services supporting mums across Cumbria could be lost.

Get Started

Hold a Fundraiser

Whether you organise a coffee morning, bake sale, sponsored walk, raffle, quiz night, dress-down day at work, charity football match, birthday fundraiser, craft sale or community event, every pound raised helps us continue providing vital support to mothers and families.

You don’t need to plan a huge event to make a difference. Some of the most successful fundraisers have started with one person simply sharing their story and asking friends, family and colleagues to get involved.

As well as raising money, fundraising events help raise awareness of maternal mental health and the importance of community support for mums who may be struggling.
