The Plant Dewi Baby Bundle project has been in operation for several years and has resource centres in Pembroke Dock, Milford Haven and Carmarthen.

Since its inception, St. Mary’s Mothers’ Union has enthusiastically supported the scheme and a very considerable quantity of clothing and equipment has been donated to the Pembroke Dock Hwb.

Following a referral from a midwife, health visitor, social worker or through the various Plant Dewi support groups, families or single parents in financial need are able to access many of the essential items required to care for a new baby.

As a Christian organisation supporting families around the world, they aim to share God’s love through the encouragement, strengthening and support of marriage and family life. They see the continued backing of this excellent project as a charitable and truly worthwhile activity.

They benefit from regular gifts of hand-made, soft, wool baby blankets and tiny bonnets, beautifully created in crochet by Anita Ashley from Aberdare. This generous lady, who is currently housebound, formerly worked in paediatric special baby care and maternity units and makes a really valuable contribution to their regular donations.
