Black Maternity Matters Celebration and Graduation 2026

Black Maternity Matters 2026 Celebration & Graduation Event

Community, Connection and Collective action

The Black Maternity Matters Collaborative invites you to stand with us at our 2026 Celebration & Graduation Event, a gathering rooted in community, action and our shared commitment to transforming perinatal safety for women, birthing people and babies racialised as Black in the West of England and beyond 

This event is a moment to honour our graduates, uplift lived experience and recognise the courage, leadership and learning that has shaped their journey. But it is also a call to action,  a reminder that meaningful change happens when our community shows up, speaks up and continues the work together.

Join us to:

• Celebrate our graduates and the powerful learning they carry back into their place of work
• Lift up community voices that guide and strengthen the BMM movement
• Stand with partners and supporters who are committed to anti racist practice
• Renew our collective promise to build safer, more equitable care for families racialised as Black 

Your presence matters. By attending, you help amplify this work, strengthen our community and show graduates that their commitment is seen, valued and supported. Together, we create momentum. Together, we build change. Together, we make Black Perinatal safety a shared responsibility.

If you have completed a BMM Programme you are eligible to take part in the BMM Graduation Ceremony and will receive a Graduation Certificate on the day. Please select Graduate Guest Ticket when booking.
