I work as volunteer manager and birth companion for HBC which provides essential care and support for women who have escaped violence and trafficking.

The women are unable to cook nutritious food for themselves and dependent on 'school dinner' processed food in the hotels.

At our playgroups we provide free fruit and veg which, with access to a blender, these mums can make smoothies and baby food that is fresh and nutritious.

many of our mums have low iron and gestational diabetes, conditions which make pregnancy onerous and are compounded by the poor diet available to them.

A blender or juicer would help them so much to improve their quality of life,

please contribute if you can!
