Mums in Wirral are set to benefit from the national new Health and Wellbeing Fund, it has been announced.
The project is one of 19 around the country to help to promote nutrition, learning, language development and mental health during both pregnancy and post-birth.
The £7.6 million national fund supports the focus on communities that have been ‘left behind’ and aims to reduce health inequalities.
The Health and Wellbeing Fund, based on the theme of ‘starting well’, will help charities and voluntary groups to run and expand projects to boost mental health for new and expectant mums, improve the development of babies and children and give people the best chance for a healthy start by preventing obesity and diabetes.
