Lower Hutt, Wellington

Oxytocin Trust (formerly Hutt Maternity Action)

We use your money wisely to provide care and support to those who are birthing, new parents, their midwives (and other maternity staff), those breastfeeding, or offering breastfeeding support on the hospital maternity ward and in the Hutt community. Specifically, we aim to:

* Provide funds and volunteer help to support local midwives to remain in practice, perhaps where there are shortfalls in equipment and supplies, and to improve their day-to-day work lives

* Provide financial support to new graduate midwives starting out

* Grow our volunteer group - the Oxytocin Squad - providing practical support to birthing whānau, midwives, maternity staff and midwifery students in the form kai, baby clothing, volunteer help

* Create & Distribute Newborn/Mums Packs to those that need them

* Work with and provide funds for existing Breastfeeding groups to increase access to lactation support

* Enrich Antenatal, Birthing and Postnatal Environments
