Chairwoman Karina Lewis said the aim of the organisation was to provide support and information to pregnant woman.

“We want to allow women the opportunity to work through the grief of a previous pregnancy loss, whether by miscarriage, abortion or stillbirth, in a safe space,” she said.

“We would help clients with their services including pregnancy testing, options counselling, an Earn While You Learn program, post-abortion counselling and material support with baby goods and clothes.”

The Open Day will start at 10am and finish at 1pm at 4/5 Goddard St Rockingham.
