✨️ Thank you! ✨️

We briefly mentioned at the start of the summer that we received a grant from 🎉 The Tudwick Foundation

We wanted to officially acknowledge their generosity in supporting us in our ventures! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕

Our aim is to make perinatal services accessible to all families in Colchester who need them, no matter their circumstances ❤️

Getting life with a newborn off to a great start has been shown time and time again to have far reaching benefits, not only to the child, but to the family as well.

We are incredibly lucky in Colchester to have so many amazing services and professionals who can offer this support, and with the help of organisations such as The Tudwick Foundation, we can get that help to those who need it most.

If you or someone you know could benefit from a group like this, then please do give us a follow, comment or share 😊

Or if you have any questions then please do not hesitate to get in touch 🥰

We cant wait to see where the next 6 months will take us!
