New Zealand is lighting up purple today to raise awareness for World Prematurity Day. It’s also raising awareness for our friends at The Little Miracles Trust – a charity that provides invaluable support and resources to parents and whānau going through the stress and anxiety of a neonatal journey.
Every year in New Zealand, over 5,000 babies are born prematurely. We're proud to support and work alongside The Little Miracles Trust.
If you're keen to offer your own support for the work of the Trust, text ‘Little’ to 4847 to make a $3 donation.
A landmark near you will be lighting up purple to mark World Prematurity Day. See the list here: https://littlemiraclestrust.org.nz/lighting-up-purple/

We are delighted to let you know that Fiona Purcha

We are delighted to let you know that Fiona Purchas has been appointed our new Chief Executive Officer.

Fiona brings a tremendous amount of warmth and experience to the Bellyful whānau having worked extensively across social and commercially orientated organisations throughout her career. This includes being the National President of Multiples NZ, and most recently CE with a local charity providing residential care for young people with complex needs.

Fiona lives in Wellington, and will be supported by her husband Chris, three children, Archie, Joel and Ella – and their much-adored dog, Freddie. She says it’s a privilege to be entrusted with Bellyful’s leadership and to serve with the team in delivering support to families in need.

“Bellyful is an amazing charity that has a clear purpose and vision, and has had a huge impact since 2009. I’m really excited to work in partnership with the board, national support team, volunteers, sponsors and other charity partners who make this important mahi possible.

“The first few months of parenting can be really tough, so it’s my hope that every whānau with new babies and young children, who needs support, knows that someone cares for them. Every meal delivered by Bellyful demonstrates that care, and it feels great to be joining the team!”

Fiona starts with us on 28 November. We are excited for her to help lead us on the next stage of the Bellyful journey.
