If you decide to go ahead with an unplanned pregnancy it can have
 huge practical repercussions.

The cost of equipment and clothes is often a concern for mothers
 and their families. We are able to offer assorted equipment for
 free ie buggies, high-chairs etc and a selection of baby clothes through to toddler size.
Free equipment is given out on a loan basis to enable as many families to have the use of such equipment.

"Befrienders"
Volunteers at the Centre can offer on-going friendship and support to women who have decided to keep their babies, both throughout the pregnancy and after the baby is born.
