The journey into motherhood is a transformative and joyous experience, yet it can also be daunting, especially for new mums without the support of nearby family. This is where Support for New Mums steps in. They are a dedicated not-for-profit charity organisation committed to enhancing the health and wellbeing of new mothers and their babies in the Tweed, Byron, and Ballina Shires in Northern NSW as well as the lower Gold Coast.
Their dedicated volunteers provide essential assistance from the third trimester of pregnancy through the baby’s first year of life, offering a helping hand and a listening ear to new mothers, ensuring they have the support they need during this crucial period.
Last Saturday they held a High Tea Fashion Parade to help raise much-needed funds for their cause. The event was attended by over 100 wonderful, local people who came together to show their support. The atmosphere was alive with community spirit and generous hearts.
Their heartfelt thanks go out to the Lions Club of Cabarita Beach Pottsville Beach for their kind donation and continuing support, Drift Clothing, who graciously supplied the beautiful fashions for the parade, adding a touch of glamour to the event, Kingscliff Shimmy Mob who added some dazzle and many others who generously gave in the way of entertainment for the day, through donated prizes for their raffle as well as giving their time to help on the day and Support for New Mums is eternally grateful.
Support for New Mums is looking for sponsorship. Your organisation will be aligning itself with a cause that directly impacts the local community and enables them to expand their services. Volunteers are also needed to help support mums in all area.
If you are interested in joining their efforts and making a difference in the lives of new mums, please reach out to them at [email protected]. Your involvement could make all the difference for a mother and her baby during these early months, it only requires 2 hours per week of your valuable time.
