Baby Godiva has found a friend!

In 2021, when I solidified a working network between all the charities helping to support families with babies and young children in Coventry and Warwickshire, I never thought I would find Baby Godiva’s new best friend. As with all babies, they grow up and, start to mix with other children, and forge new alliances.  My…

New Year, New Us?

Well, I don’t know about you, but I am still trying to process that we have just slid into 2024!  The pandemic affected many, in many ways but, the most profound for me seems to be the fact I can’t quite get over how much time has passed since that year!  Baby Godiva has been…

Between the Salvation Army and a generous donation of £750 from RSA Insurance in Birmingham, we had a great foundation for…

I am immensely proud and overwhelmed with what three core people and a handful of volunteers have managed to do to impact families for the better in Coventry and Warwickshire. 12 months ago, I was a Mum of six-month-old little boy (and a three-year-old), on maternity leave from my full-time job wanting to fill a…
