The Happy Baby Community (HBC) is a user and volunteer-led charity helping new and expectant moms who flee from violence and seek asylum in the UK.

Young women who have survived trafficking and violence and have a new baby, face the huge challenge of starting a new life in a new country alone and living in poverty (£39.63 PW). Without childcare, they are unable to access language and vocational training. Without trusted friends and family they struggle to access statutory support and children's development activities. They are unable to access mental health services due to poor English skills and lack of childcare. They lack a trusted community. The Happy Baby Community (HBC) is a user and volunteer-led charity. A community led by women with lived experience of the issues, speaking 14 languages, able to understand and address the challenges facing new and expectant mums. HBC works with 45 partners to wrap around the support for the new mums. HBC's, 8 community hubs, weekly text messaging and a virtual community facilitate this support.

This Refugee Week, we celebrate the courage of the mothers and families we are privileged to support every day.
Leaving home, rebuilding a life, learning a new language, and caring for babies and children in unfamiliar circumstances all require extraordinary courage. We are inspired daily by the strength, resilience, and determination of the women in our community.
At Happy Baby Community, we believe that every family deserves safety, dignity, friendship, and the opportunity to thrive.
Thank you to our volunteers, staff, supporters, and partners who help create a welcoming community where every mother and child can belong.
🧡Happy Refugee Week 2026 🤍

This is not a beauty salon…💛
This is a Monday morning at Happy Baby Community ACTON Group. A huge thank you to and for leading an amazing workshop for our mums, sharing simple tips on how to create a fresh, confident look in just five minutes, even when you’re busy, rushing out the door, or holding a baby on your lap!
The room was filled with smiles, laughter, and confidence, and by the end everyone was absolutely glowing. ✨
We are incredibly grateful to Trinny London for their generosity, for gifting products to our mums, and for making this special workshop possible.
Thank you for helping our mothers feel seen, valued, and beautiful. ❤️
