Pregnancy Help, the charitable trust that offers services and support to women and families in need, has received over 20,000 Pams nappies to be used across its seven branches. Each Pregnancy Help centre will receive enough nappies to cover a year's supply for their practical assistance service.
“Pregnancy Help has been doing invaluable work as over the past few years, fuelled by the pandemic and the rising cost of living, many young kiwi families are going through difficult times. It’s a privilege for Pams to be able to give this donation that will go towards relieving some stress that comes with the responsibility of raising children by providing Pregnancy Help with nappies they can distribute to where the need is,” said Lisa Oldershaw, General Manager of Foodstuffs New Zealand’s Own Brands.

“We are incredibly grateful to be able to provide these nappies to our clients, particularly as we are seeing increasing demand for our services. Raising awareness of the work of Pregnancy Help also means that families can access not only our services but those of other support providers that we work alongside in our communities,” said Rachel Vicars, Pregnancy Help National Executive Board Member.
Alongside Pregnancy Help’s practical services, the charity operates a telephone line, referral services, counselling and birthing/parenting support programmes.

“Our contribution of nappies helps us deliver on our commitment to be Here for NZ and our promise to support communities to thrive. With Pregnancy Help’s established roots in many communities nationwide, working for and around growing young families, these nappies will reach the homes of the people who need them the most,” said Oldershaw.
