Our Story

Begin Well was founded in 2018 by Louise Hughes, a Consultant Obstetrician, and Karen Egitto, a Senior Nurse with a background in Health Visiting, with the vision of ensuring that every expectant parent has access to high-quality antenatal education. Our story is one of dedication to providing valuable resources and nurturing a supportive community for families as they prepare for the arrival of their little ones.

Our Team

Begin Well has well over 60 volunteers across 15 locations, supported by a Volunteer Coordinator, an Administration Manager, and a Board of Trustees including the Charity's Founders. Each training team is in turn supported by a local church or churches.
