Bellyful Porirua is a branch of a nationwide not-for-profit charity. We provide practical support, encouragement and friendship to mums 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 mums to not be afraid to ask for help!
