Perinatal  Equity Project - Baby Steps 

Improving perinatal outcomes for women and birthing people from
ethnic minority communities in Surrey

The Perinatal Equity Project, Baby Steps, was created to improve health outcomes and reduce disparities for pregnant women from minoritised communities in Surrey. Through culturally safe peer support, one-to-one listening and advocacy, we help families feel heard, supported and confident during pregnancy and early parenthood.

What We Offer

  • Baby Steps peer support groups in various locations across Surrey

  • Perinatal and Postnatal Pilates to regain core strength

  • One-to-one culturally aware listening

  • Perinatal mental health advocacy & signposting to NHS services

  • Health literacy workshops

SMEF works in partnership with the NHS, local authorities and VCSE organisations to improve access and outcomes. We follow strict safeguarding, confidentiality and data protection procedures.
