## Activities

**Objects:** THE OBJECTS OF THE CIO ARE:For the advancement of health, to provide emotional, physical, advocacy and material support during the first 1000 days of life as well as the perinatal period for women in the UK who lack access to a birth partner. In particular, but not exclusively, through the provision of volunteer support to provide information and signpost to services during the antenatal period, birth partner support during labour and delivery and continuity of non-medical care during the early postnatal period.  We will continue support beyond this period where there is a demonstrated need.For the purpose of this clause, &quot;perinatal&quot; means during pregnancy, birth and first 8 weeks after birth.

**Activities:** Women seeking asylum in Cardiff who would otherwise birth alone are supported with regular visits from volunteers during late pregnancy; with comfort measures and nurturing presence throughout labour and delivery; then home visits to 8 weeks postnatal.  We increase women&#x27;s sense of their own value, their access to information, awareness of options and signpost to appropriate services.
