Would you like to put something on this page?!

If you would like to advertise something here, please send us details ~ we will advertise anything that we consider to be of benefit to women and / or midwives for free, although we invite anyone who would like to advertise here to consider making a donation towards our Farm Workshop Bursary Fund and / or trading us an ad.

The Farm Workshop Bursary Fund awards an annual bursary towards the cost of our Farm Midwifery Workshop, and all bursaried student midwives are eligible to apply. We have recently awarded the third bursary of £400, and all of this money has been raised because lots of people have given small amounts ~ so every pound makes a difference and helps us keep it going!
