The Association for Post-Natal Illness is the leading organisation in its field, it is a Registered Charity (No. 280510) and it was established in 1979 to:

• - Provide support to mothers suffering from post-natal illness
• - Increase public awareness of the illness
• - To encourage research into its cause and nature

• The work of the Association is essential as post-natal illness affects between 70,000 and 100,000 women and their babies in the UK every year. It is rightly called 'the silent epidemic'.
• 
  
• The Association provides a telephone helpline, information leaflets for sufferers and healthcare professionals as well as a network of volunteers (telephone and postal), who have themselves experienced postnatal illness. For a printed information pack send a s.a.e. to:-  145 Dawes Road, Fulham, London, UK, SW6 7EB or click on Leaflets on PNI   for more information about PNI.

This website was redesigned by Richard Hindle at Top Draw Media and launched on 9th November 2007. The project was funded by donations made in memory of Mrs Ginty Liell a long time supporter and former fundraiser of the Association. The original website was entirely constructed by Mr Dave Page and launched in 1999, the new site  encompasses much of his fine work and he still offers help with technical issues on the site.
