Circle was successful in securing funding to deliver support to pregnant substance users across East and Midlothian. Fiona Burness took up the post on 1st May 2016. During her first month in post, Fiona met with professionals in the statutory and voluntary sector as well as colleagues from health informing them of and promoting the service. Holistic support is now being offered to individual families with the aim of reducing health and social inequalities and providing positive outcomes for the family. Fiona has also set up a pregnancy support group, which allows mums-to-be the opportunity to meet with peers, learn about child development and relaxation techniques.
