Maternity Alliance to cease trading!

This is not good

they were bloody helpful to me they were

this seems to happen to lots of charities

they really helped me and lots of people i know

is it worth a mumsnet petition?

or is it too late|?

Oh, that's a shame.

Surely something can be done - it's not a good day for women, this, IMO.

Thats rubbish, they helped me as well. Wonder what we can do - if anything...

Happy to help if anything can be done?

I don't think a petition would help - who to and what about?; I heard about this last week, but am not sure about the background.

Not sure what I think about Platts's argument, I have to say. I'd be very surprised if the MA were completely government-dependent. Don't know how much it generated itself, who else it got funding from, etc...

NSPCC has swallowed up ChildLine as well, btw.

(Sorry, I write about this sort of stuff from time to time!)

MI (that is you, isn't it) what a fab Christmas name.

P.S. Dh has had a job interview with Disability Now...
