Bellyful Nelson
Bellyful provides up to three nights of meals to whānau with babies or children under 12 who are facing challenges such as illness, bereavement, stress, isolation, pregnancy, miscarriage, or baby loss – regardless of financial situation. We help families without a support network. Our meals are generously cooked and delivered by volunteers, who will do their best to be in touch within five working days.

Brenda Holdaway
Co-Branch Coordinator
With 35 years of early childhood teaching behind me, I have always been passionate about supporting whānau, especially those with young children. Bellyful linked well with my beliefs and personal philosophy on life, around helping those in need whenever possible.
Now that my family has grown up, I have more time to support Bellyful in its endeavours to nourish and provide meals to whanau who are going through difficult times.

I’m originally from Melbourne and met my Kiwi husband while travelling in Vietnam. After living overseas for 12 years, we moved to Nelson in 2020. I’m passionate about cooking and nutrition, have a background in business, finance and culinary arts. I love the outdoors and being active and currently work part-time, volunteer and keep up with and feed our four active boys!
