Pippa Wetzell

Pippa Wetzell has been a Bellyful ambassador since early 2011 after being contacted by Executive Director Jacqui Ritchie as she was making a meal for a friend with a new baby.

With three children herself she appreciates how wonderful the delivery of a meal can be and still marvels how something seemingly small can make such a difference. She was present at the Royal visit from Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and has attended Bellyful conferences.

Pippa presents and reports for long running consumer programme Fair Go.

Meet our new Corporate Partnerships & Development

Meet our new Corporate Partnerships & Development Advisor Khymne Methven.

Khymne lives in Christchurch and is married to Hamish. They share five children, two dogs, one turtle and a bearded dragon. (So far!)

With 30 years business and people expertise alongside her commitment to purpose, Khymne joins Bellyful to support our wonderful volunteers through funding capability and enriched corporate relationships with partners who share values and recognise the enduring social impact of the Bellyful mission.

Having also spent eight years training and delivering childbirth and newborn parenting education for the CDHB alongside her company activities, Khymne has a deep admiration for new parents and the challenges they face. “I will never forget how completely overwhelming it is. Food is so much more than sustenance. And connection is everything when you need to know that someone else sees you and understands”.

Please contact Khymne at khymne.methven@bellyful.org.nz if you would like to discuss ways you or your business can support Bellyful and our communities as we continue to face unprecedented demand.

We are incredibly saddened by the death of Chloe W

We are incredibly saddened by the death of Chloe Wright.

Chloe and the @wrightfamilyfoundationnz team have been passionate supporters of @bellyfultauranga and Bellyful NZ in recent years and have helped us make a difference for countless whānau.

Chloe was passionate, vocal, and bighearted and cared deeply for mums and babies here in Aotearoa.

We send the aroha of the Bellyful whānau to the entire Wright family.
