The Motherless Mothers is a UK charity and peer-support community for women navigating pregnancy, birth and parenthood without the presence of their own mother, due to bereavement, estrangement, illness or another form of maternal absence. It was founded in June 2024 by Adina Belloli and Louise Kirby-Jones.

The charity provides resources, workshops and educational content to help women manage the unique challenges that arise when motherhood intersects with grief and loss. Support includes antenatal courses, group therapy, and free counselling and coaching sessions, as well as emotional support in peer communities both online and in person.

Alongside this direct support, The Motherless Mothers advocates for greater awareness in maternity services, working to ensure that the experiences of motherless mothers are recognised and appropriately supported. The charity’s work aims to reduce isolation, improve wellbeing and promote more compassionate, grief-aware maternity care.
