Our primary focus is on supporting pregnant mothers and their families up to six months postnatal. Our goal is to ensure dignity and confidence during pregnancy and delivery through comprehensive support, delivered in four stages.
Assessment
We receive client referrals from various sources across Coventry. Our team conducts an initial welcome visit to assess the family’s needs. To make a referral, please see our Contact Us page.
Planning
Our services are client-centered, treating each case uniquely. We schedule a second home visit at a convenient time for the family. During this period, clients often have multiple hospital, midwifery, and GP appointments.
Delivery
Thanks to our generous donors, we provide hospital bags, baby bags, and essential items for expectant mothers and newborns. These items are delivered directly to the client’s home.

Evaluation
We follow up with our referrers for feedback on how we assisted the families. Many clients stay in touch after the baby is born, and we continue to offer support as needed. At six months postnatal, we conduct a final follow-up visit, providing education on weaning and safer sleep, along with a feeding set, larger clothes for the baby, a high chair, cot bed and sheets, and a Bumbo-style seat. At this point we refer our clients onto our Lets Play project.
