Verbatim
“Unfortunately there are a lot of people whose birth experiences aren't always positive and they've not maybe got the best home life or they've escaped domestic violence or they're struggling with health.”
“Out of this experience, we realised that we wanted to do all in our power to help preserve dignity and hygiene for those new mums who don't have much, so the cupboard just grew from there and now contains everything from toiletries and baby clothes to baby blankets and wipes.”
“We had nothing to provide her with and we thought this wasn't right, so we appealed to colleagues to bring items in, like a deodorant or shampoo, and it just snowballed.”
“Kindness costs nothing and Liz does these for nothing and she's passing on that joy just for who she is and being able to share that with everybody is really lovely.”
