“Navigating parenthood shouldn’t feel like a solo journey. At Hand2Hold, we’re building the bridge that connects you to the support, services, and community you need – right when you need them most.”

Leyla Preston, Founder of hand2hold

Hand2Hold was born from a deeply personal place. As a mother of four and the founder of Motherhood Diaries, I’ve experienced firsthand the joys and challenges of pregnancy and parenthood. I’ve also seen countless parents struggling to find the right support at the right time.

That’s when it hit me – what if we could create a single platform that connects parents to all the services they need throughout their parenting journey, much like a ‘Netflix’ for pregnancy and parenting services? This idea became Hand2Hold – your comprehensive guide to navigating parenthood in the UK.

  3. Interactive Timeline: Navigate your parenting journey with ease, seeing exactly what services you might need at each stage.
