Bellyful Christchurch is a branch of a nationwide not-for-profit charity. We provide practical support, encouragement and friendship to families with new babies, during what can be a very lonely and difficult time. We are encouraging communities to get together and support each other - and for families to not be afraid to ask for help!

Bellyful Christchurch has been operating since April 2012 and in that time has delivered well over 4500 meals to hundreds of local families - all achieved by volunteer effort put into fundraising, cooking & delivering of meals.

Thank you for your lovely message. It was pleasure to be able to help Sarah with some meals this morning. My lovely volunteer Caroline delivered to a number of Mums this morning and we definitely understand how hard it is with a newborn and no family support nearby. We are happy to help. Thanks for your very kind donation.
