Sport in Mind endorsed by the Active Pregnancy Foundation

We’re proud to announce that Sport in Mind’s Mum and Baby programme has been officially endorsed by the Active Pregnancy Foundation (APF).

This endorsement recognizes our pregnancy and post‑natal initiatives as leading programmes in perinatal mental health, setting a benchmark for safe, effective, and compassionate support through sport. Our Mum and Baby programmes create welcoming spaces where mothers can nurture their mental and physical wellbeing, build confidence, and connect with their babies and community.

Kayleigh Harris, Head of growth and Innovation at Sport in Mind said:

"We’re incredibly proud to have achieved this endorsement. As a charity working on the front line, we saw it as essential to undertake this rigorous process to ensure our practices meet the highest industry standards. The mentoring we received has been truly invaluable, giving us the space to critically reflect on our systems and approaches, and strengthen the way we safely and effectively support mothers during the perinatal period.

We're always proud of our Sport in Mind Mum and Baby Programme, which continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of mums across our communities. But we know the work doesn’t stop here. We must keep championing perinatal mental health and striving for greater awareness, investment, and support, because every mum deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported"

This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our volunteers, coaches, and mums who inspire us every day. We look forward to continuing this journey, championing perinatal mental health, and working with partners to ensure every mum feels safe, seen, and cared for.
