Bluebell Care Trust A charity providing support for parents experiencing perinatal mental health difficulties, across the South West of the UK. Offering a wide range of innovative services and support in the community, and from our award winning perinatal mental health hub, the first of its kind in the UK, Bluebell Place. Ruth is the founder and CEO of Bluebell Care and has lived experience of perinatal mental illness. Knowing how hard it can be to find the right support quickly, easily and close to home, Ruth was motivated to set up Bluebell in 2009, along with support from her husband, other parents with lived experience and professionals working in the sector, with the aim to fill some of the gaps in local community provision. The charity has grown and now has a brilliant team of 35 working across many areas of the South West.
