Peppy Pregnancy & Parenthood Community

Weekly-themed ‘camera-on’ group calls and group chats moderated by Peppy’s team of experts, covering the topics every new and expectant mother and father want to know. A safe place where your colleagues can share their experiences in an informed space.

Emotional wellbeing support

One in five women and one in eight men experience a mental health problem during the perinatal period. It’s why we offer one-to-one instant messaging with specialist mental wellbeing practitioners, so your people always have someone to talk to when they need it.

Live virtual events

Each week we give Peppy users access to small-group events featuring expert practitioners and guest speakers talking on themes like ‘Preparing for birth’. And for your workforce, we offer a calendar of virtual live events for their training and education, on topics like ‘Supporting your return to work’.

Peppy is an amazing tool to support our business and move towards the culture that we want to have.

Wickes employees value the fact that they talk to an “anonymous” person through the app, so they can ask questions they might feel too uncomfortable to ask their GP.
