About Life

We are creating a world where no one faces pregnancy or pregnancy loss alone. Through our services, we help people - whoever they are - to meet pregnancy or pregnancy loss with courage and dignity so they can flourish. Our services include: 


  • Free emotional help, counselling, and skilled listening via phone, text, email, or in person.
  • Housing and community support around the country for mums and their babies. 
  • Free pregnancy tests and baby supplies. 
  • Crafting content that educates the public about pregnancy, pregnancy loss, and our work.


Why walk for Life

We’re thrilled you want to join us and become one of our “Life Changers” by choosing to fundraise for us.


  • Every day, 50+ people reach out to Life for emotional and practical help about pregnancy or pregnancy loss.
  • Every month, Life gives skilled listening and counselling to 500-1,000 people affected by pregnancy or pregnancy loss. 
  • Every month, 1,500+ people ask Life for a free pregnancy test.
  • More than 12,000 mums and babies have been housed by Life. At any one time, we’re housing more than 200 mums and babies in our network of Life Houses.


Together we can create a world where no one faces pregnancy or pregnancy loss alone. Your support to help us achieve this.
