Loving Arms

About

To see every baby born in the community adequately clothed and provided for and every new mother adequately cared for and supported.

Story

‘Loving Arms’ is a free, confidential, home-based service. We are all caring like-minded women who have a heart to provide practical support and encouragement to expectant mothers, mothers of newborns or infants and their families. We are not health professionals and our service will work alongside other health workers and support services that may be required.

We believe that having a baby is a precious and special time in every woman’s life and this incredible journey should have a positive lasting effect on her life. This experience is entirely unique to each woman and is to be celebrated, but it can also be a very stressful and challenging time especially if circumstances aren’t supportive to her and her baby. This can be influenced by a number of factors including the availability of a good support system. We believe that all women should be able to rest and relax into the role of motherhood, while feeling supported and cared for by those around her.
