From retired grannies to fun-loving teenagers and busy moms, community volunteers pop in during the week to provide vital cuddles and playtime to support each baby’s well-being and all-round development — while helping prepare them to slot right into their forever families.
Beyond the centre, Baby Hope House shares anything it’s not using with the wider community. Helping moms who have to take their baby home wrapped in newspaper, baby starter packs help get mom started with blankets, clothing – up to a year old, dummy, bottles, toiletries, nappies, and something special for mom. Delivered to RK Khan Hospital, King George Hospital and 11th Hour, it’s just another way of helping encourage moms not to abandon their babies because of a lack of resources.
