The news of a pregnancy or a recent birth is an exciting time for all prospective and existing parents. It can, however, be cruelly interrupted by the news of a cancer diagnosis and the worry that this brings to both you and your wider family.
Mummy’s Star has been set up specifically to offer support if you find yourself in this situation and we hope that by providing comprehensive information and links in this section, it will help you to get the support you need, access services that are available to you but most importantly know that you are not alone when you are going through this.
The information contained here is reviewed on an ongoing basis and will also be added to as new information becomes known about cancer in pregnancy. Likewise, as we receive more enquiries, we will add to the FAQs section in order to be able to try and answer as many of your questions in one place as possible.
Please contact us here and we can discuss more specifically how we can support you and your family.

Charity Yoga
a success!
Hush Before the Rush - a charity yoga session led by Catherine Gallagher - was a wonderful opportunity for our mums and supporters to relax and rejuvenate before the activity of the festive season.
Attendees were treated to gentle seated poses and a yoga nidra
(yogic sleep) over the 2.5hr session.
The session raised a total of £550
for Mummy's Star and we are so grateful to Catherine and everyone who took part!
Raffle Winners announced!
Our Christmas Raffle 2021 was drawn on Friday 3rd December and 11 lucky winners were chosen to receive one of the wonderful prizes donated this year!
The raffle raised an incredible £1500 for our Small Grants Programme
and will allow us to support families suffering under the strain of unexpected financial costs related
to their cancer diagnosis.
A huge thank you to everyone who bought a ticket, who shared with their friends and to all our generous donors from across the UK!

Pendants

of life and hope. Each one is made by hand and the star can be personalised with initials or left plain.
Each pendant is made from
sterling silver and all the profits
are donated to us.
