We know every family’s journey through pregnancy and postpartum is unique. For some, it brings joy and cherished memories; for others, it carries challenges, loss, or painful moments.
Whatever your path, you deserve a space where you feel truly seen and heard.

Our Founding Story
The Oxfordshire Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnership (OMNVP) created the Oxfordshire Birthing Community to give families a space to be heard, supported and represented.
We are an independent organisation, led by families who have given birth in Oxfordshire.
NHS England have given us funding to create a safe space for families to share openly about their pregnancy, birth, and postnatal care.
We are here to listen to families and make sure every voice is heard — especially from those who don’t usually speak up or come from minority groups.
Given our work in the community, we have been given a seat at the table in regular leadership meetings at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust.
In these meetings, we act as your advocate — sharing what families want leaders to know, speaking up for what families need, and supporting actions that improve maternity and neonatal care in Oxfordshire.

Every story counts— from magical, positive births to heartbreaking, traumatic ones. Each experience helps us understand what families need and guides improvements in care.
