WHAT THE ST. MARTIN'S BABY PROJECT DOES
THE AIM AND PURPOSE of the project is to support babies born into challenging situations wherever they may be. It has become an expression of God's
love in action to all touched by it. The project receives "good neighbourly" requests on behalf of new born babies from our trusted supporters, clergy, 6 midwives, our local churches, local schools, foodbank and even artistic and quilting friends in the USA. They are our ears and eyes in responding to the needs around us. This project was founded in December 2013 and since then over 200 and more families have been supported.
e.g. A pregnant mother who worked in the cold outside a local supermarket until two weeks before her son's arrived. The project celebrates all births irrespective of status, circumstance and ethnic background.THE BABY PROJECT COMMUNITY includes volunteers who share their many talents and consist of private individuals, members of the local churches in Daventry and the villages, local schools, and various groups within the local community. They enjoy volunteering their professional expertise and their craft skills for the benefit of newborn babies (Their age range is from 7 through the teens and into the 90+).
We also receive monetary donations.
