Elayos was created to bring compassion to vulnerable women and birthing people during their perinatal period. The charity was formed to offer support and advocacy through a free Community Doula service to those that need it most, but simply cannot afford to pay for private doula services.

Since setting up as a registered charity, Elayos has supported hundreds of clients and is working alongside Birmingham and Solihull MVP (Maternity Voices Partnerships) and BUMP (Birmingham and Solihull United Maternity and Newborn Partnerships).

Elayos exists to bring compassion, support and advocacy to vulnerable and isolated birthing people in Birmingham. As doulas, we come alongside, build relationships, listen and equip with the information needed to empower our clients to have a positive and informed pregnancy, birth and postnatal period.

Our staff and volunteers offer continuity of care as we assist with emotional, practical and physical needs. Where appropriate, we signpost and collaborate with other organisations to ensure that the greatest range of support is given.
