How have we used your donation?
Our message
​
In 2023, all our donations have gone to support Cuidiú Antenatal Ireland Sector, who run online and in person antenatal classes throughout the Republic of Ireland. We are able to help parents/carers and their children because of you!
​
The sector has a robust antenatal education training program at its core - where trainees develop adult education facilitation skills, a strong knowledge base, self-awareness, analytical skills and the ability to use research-based evidence. The sector’s team of skilled and passionate antenatal educators provide independent, high-quality, effective antenatal education to Cuidiú Antenatal Ireland standards and ethos, building confidence and supporting parents across the country to make informed decisions in pregnancy, birth and early parenting. Educators are bound by a Code of Practice and undergo continuing professional development and regular review facilitated by Antenatal Ireland to maintain their licenses to practice and for quality assurance. Many of the sector’s trained educators bring their skills, knowledge base and facilitation of informed decision making to Cuidiú groups and events such as Bumps & Babes, breastfeeding groups and talks (e.g. on social media, conference).
