Empowering mothers in matrescence

with peer-led creative support groups

Peer-led organisation running creative groups to support and empower mothers in matrescence

What We Do

We support women in matrescence, a term meaning the transition of a woman into motherhood. Recorded figures show post-natal illness affects at least 1 in 5 women, up to 100,000 women in the UK every year. However, these are just those who speak up; many are unable to admit to feelings of depression, anxiety and loneliness and suffer in silence. In matrescence, it is completely normal to be blissfully happy one minute and in the depths of despair the next.

Our Stories

We have empowered over 3000 mothers since 2008, in person across Sussex and online nationally.

We are struck by how many say that they had never found a group to fully express what was going on for them until they attended Mothers Uncovered. A place that was just for them, to explore their matrescence honestly and openly and make long lasting friendships.

‘Mothers Uncovered saved me. There’s no other way of putting it.’

‘It fills a gap you didn’t even know was there.’

Our trustees and volunteers are vital in helping us grow Mothers Uncovered to help more mothers.

A lot of our team are past participants of Mothers Uncovered and truly believe in our mission to help mothers not feel so isolated and alone.
