Number Eight Tamworth is a local registered charity providing supportive accommodation for young mums and their babies and pregnant young mums to be.  Expecting or being a first time mum can be difficult whatever your situation, even more so without secure accommodation.

We house young mums in an environment where they can not only feel safe and secure but where they can be assisted through the very difficult period immediately before and after the birth of their first child and so in 2013 we sought premises in which we could provide these services.

Our support includes:

  • Training in the essentials of caring for the newborn
  • Training in looking after themselves
  • Training in the setting up of a first home
  • Training in basic housekeeping including some cooking/baking
  • Provision of welfare and financial advice where necessary
  • Practical and emotional support
  • Help to enable them to pick up any lost education and move on to college or into employment
  • Help to source ongoing accommodation and to furnish it
  • Healthy relationships
