HeartTalks for those affected by pregnancy loss

HeartTalks provides hope and empowers voices for those affected by pregnancy loss. Having experienced the challenge of accessing support during the pandemic following recurrent pregnancy loss, from this space of authenticity, Chantelle Walmsley, founder, set out on a mission to not only bring about change, but to connect with other whispering hearts also requiring support at this difficult time.

After carrying out a local survey to understand the need for support locally, she set up a monthly peer support circle/group. The sessions run once a month at Unit 14 in Midsomer Norton. This FREE monthly, gentle and supportive space provides access to a community, information and emotional support. They provide Support Packs gifted from the community from our Amazon Wishlist to include self-care and wellbeing items. A drop in support library with printed educational information, resources and books to loan.

Heart Talks will be putting in a charity application in the summer. This will further support them to apply for funding in order to extend their mission and reach those further afield requiring much needed support with our monthly circles, support packs and resources.

Chantelle has been calling on the community to support them with this process and have been running a series of local fundraising events and set up a gofundme page to help raise awareness and funds to continue the important service and submit the charity application.

HeartTalks is steadily growing interest and strives to reach as many requiring support locally, raising awareness through media, social media channels and publication of our free monthly support circles in Midsomer Norton. Partnering with the primary care networks, acute centres, and fertility services.

HeartTalks is dedicated to expanding our campaign to reach all areas and outside catchment areas so that those affected by pregnancy loss have access locally to the services that they need, in the time of need.
