'Muffin Day' has been a sweet success!

Thank you to @muffinbreaknz stores across the motu for supporting Bellyful with $1 from every muffin sold today. We're so excited to have Muffin Break as part of our Bellyful whānau, and raising funds to help us fill bellies💕

Our volunteers and staff loved popping in and chatting to Muffin Break teams today - we'll be regulars that's for sure 😉

Bellyful is thrilled to have a significant increas

Bellyful is thrilled to have a significant increase in the generous support we receive from @wrightfamilyfoundationnz in our work to support whānau with babies or young children by easing the pressure at dinnertime.

After being a key supporter of @bellyfultauranga and our 2022 National and Hui and Training Weekend, The Wright Family Foundation has kindly pledged three years of funding for Bellyful NZ. The first injection will be used in a range of ways, including providing direct funding to some branches needing additional support for meal ingredients, and for freezers and kitchen appliances they need to fill bellies in their communities.

We will also be able to progress a number of necessary projects to help with the support we provide our more than 700 volunteers, such as updating our manuals and handbooks, creating volunteer training videos and improving our tired and clunky digital infrastructure so our volunteers have easy access to all the information they need and can get on with what they do best – looking after their communities.

This announcement is very close to our hearts following the sad and sudden passing of the Foundation’s founder Chloe Wright. We began this shared mahi before her untimely death and will continue it as one of her many amazing legacies for whānau here in New Zealand.

It's World Prematurity Day, putting the spotlight

It's World Prematurity Day, putting the spotlight on the 15 million babies born too soon across the world each year!
Here in Aotearoa New Zealand, one in 10 babies are premature - that's one every 90 minutes and more than 5,000 a year!
Bellyful is proud to work with @littlemiraclestrust to support neonatal whānau across the country with meals in Neonatal Intensive Care Units and Special Care Baby Units. (Pictured is a Bellyful delivery at Middlemore NICU in South Auckland.)
Check out the Little Miracles Trust for more information on prematurity!
