Bellyful
Bellyful is the new parenting organisation on the block, committed to helping parents through difficult times by providing them with meals. Any parent knows how difficult those first few months can be with a newborn baby, and many mums with new babies find that the most difficult time of the day is dinner time; especially if you have other children that need feeding. I love the fact thisorganisation is all about mums helping other mums.
Do you know someone who may need assistance form the Bellyful team? Bellyful support families with babies under 3 months old who are struggling to get dinner on the table whilst juggling a newborn or are new to the area and therefore don't know many people in the community. They also support those families in crisis who have a child or parent in Hospital, have a terminal or very ill child or are going through a very difficult time due to personal circumstances.
The Bellyful vounteers make and freeze meals and when called upon, one of them will hand deliver one of these meals. As we mums know, that meal can be a real sanity saver! All of the ingredients they use are donated by businesses or people in the local community and meals are provided at no cost to those that receive them.
If you know someone who might need Bellyful's assistance or you would like to help out with this fantastic organisation please get in touch. There are so many ways to be involved, whether it be through cooking and delivering food, donating supermarket vouchers or fresh produce, or getting your business involved as a financial sponsor.

The Urban Athletes Outdoor Training is a 5 week intense fitness and health program that has been specifically designed to give your body the ultimate workout! They are run by locals Matt Nolan & Dan Snowden. They have been running their fitness programs now since November 2010 and Matt & Dan say they have been nothing but a pleasure to be apart of and they have had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people along the way!
From the feed back they've had, the 5:30am time slot has been a bit too much for new mums wanting to get back into their training and unfortunately a few have missed out! So....
"Urban Athletes would like to invite and give new mums the opportunity to be a part of this in 2011.
To give you an example as the dates and times are still to be confirmed the training's would run from 10am-11am Monday, Wednesday and Fridays for 5 weeks. Importantly the program we run is gradual and will be catered to the individual this would also include a nutritional food plan, health and fitness test (weight, body fat %) and 3 one hour sessions with us for 5 weeks. This is a group programme so we would be looking at anywhere between 12-20 people to join us. The whole idea is for people to enjoy a safe indoors experience within a group of people they know and trust and create a "Healthy Body, Health Mind" attitude!!"
