Bellyful Selwyn 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!

Bellyful Selwyn is our newest branch and has been operating since July 2015. We are looking forward to delivering delicious meals to local families - all of which will be achieved by volunteer effort put into fundraising, cooking & delivering of meals.
