What difference will you make?
In order for midwives to offer the very best care they need to develop innovative practice, progress their professional education and conduct research. This is made possible through the work of the Iolanthe Midwifery Trust. For many midwives, the Iolanthe Midwifery Trust has transformed their lives, supporting them in achieving their dreams and aspirations. For over 30 years, the Iolanthe Midwifery Trust has helped nearly 400 midwives develop and broaden their skills and knowledge through bursaries, fellowships and special awards. The Charity has been in existence since 1983 and then became a CIO. Our current Legal Trustee is stepping down and we are now looking for a new Legal Trustee to help take us forward into the next phase of our development.
