Blossom & Berry Nurture Foundation - Nurturing the Future- 1001 days to save the world

A huge part of what I do at Blossom & Berry is to give. Giving back and giving more is central to my happiness and my purpose. My core values are working with grace and with service.

I created the Blossom & Berry Nurture Foundation to help change the world through investing in the health and wellbeing of parents and babies.

"Blossom & Berry Nurture Foundation aims to provide skills training, professional tuition & practical support to those who wish to access and learn about the benefits of nurturing touch, love, responsive care and secure attachment for parents and children. We believe that love creates love and in investing in the emotional wellbeing of families to help nurture a future generation of healthy, happy, healthy and positive communities"

CHANGING THE WORLD

with love

We provide opportunities for free training programs for individuals and organisations working with vulnerable parents and babies around the world.

I am also the founder of the mother and infant health initiative with my charity Love Support Unite where we work with the most vulnerable mothers and babies in poverty in Malawi providing education and health checks.

We support a number of charitable projects by donating 10% of our profits from our baby massage courses.

Want to understand why investing in early childhood development is so powerful?

The World Bank, Unicef and the World Health Organisation are recognising that a powerful way to prevent the cycle of poverty is to invest in early childhood development and nurturing care. The video below shows exactly why.

All our projects support the policies and principles around the nurturing care framework. There is increasing evidence that love, support and nurturing care in the first few years of life can create transformational results for sustainable development.

Why we give more

Changing the world with love one baby at a time.

As Blossom & Berry develops and grows, it's my goal and responsibility to give back to society and help make an impact in the world.

I support the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development with a focus on Goal 3 which promotes good health and wellbeing for all. I want to play my part in elevating communities out of poverty through my work and to reach the most vulnerable women, children and families.

Our charitable work is aligned with the current policy on sustainable development and early childhood education.

After the success of taking infant massage training to staff in orphanages in Malawi, Blossom & Berry is supporting the work of Simon's Mango Tree in an orphanage in Ghana.
