Our Collaboration

At Trashegimia – The Albanian Heritage, we believe in the power of working together to strengthen and support our community. We are proud to collaborate with Mothers for Mothers, a Bristol-based charity supporting women and families experiencing perinatal mental health challenges.

 

Through this partnership, we co-deliver sessions at IKEA and other community spaces, providing:

• Mental health and wellbeing support for mothers

• Advice and guidance for families adjusting to life in the UK

• Opportunities for women to connect, share experiences, and build confidence

 

This collaboration helps us extend our reach and ensure Albanian families in Bristol feel supported, understood, and empowered.
