New NHS data shows a sharp decline in contraceptive access. Contacts with SRH services down almost 48% in a decade. Funding cuts and service reductions are leaving women without choice. We need investment and innovation now.

As Baby Loss Awareness Week ends, we reflect on the words of MP @bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social : there is no hierarchy of grief. Every experience of pregnancy loss - miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion - deserves compassion and care.

A decade of campaigning to change abortion law but we’re being silenced by TfL at our final hurdle.
In a few weeks MP’s will vote on amendment NC1 to the Crime and Policing bill. An amendment that will prevent the traumatic events shown on our ads.
