Nishkam Start of Life Care
Supporting women through pregnancy and beyond
Home >
The Values and teachings parents infuse will nurture and influence a child. Nourish them and fill them with the best and they will flourish through life.
Funded by Birmingham and Solihull ICS, we provide an antenatal course consisting of 10 free antenatal classes, led by health professionals, in a safe, culturally appropriate setting, to support women through pregnancy, with a focus on self-care, emotional wellbeing, and preparation for pregnancy, birth and beyond.
As a new mum I knew very little about pregnany and having a baby, the sessions were helpful for me to learn rfore my baby’s arrival.
The SOLC programme is a brilliant initiative to support mums, the staff and volunteers are very passionate and caring and make it a safe space to answer all your questions. The programme is brilliant and I would recommend it to all mums to be!
It is a very good programme, I got to learn lots about breast milk and formula milk, how to look after my baby and my self. Everyone is welcoming and made me feel comfortable. Thank you for the lovely lunch we had every time we came.
