Community funding awarded to Natal Bean Foundation

Fareham Borough Council has awarded Natal Bean Foundation £2,500 from its Community Fund, towards the purchase of 12 Tripp Trapp Highchairs for use within their café and community spaces.

Natal Bean Foundation is a Fareham-based early years family hub. It supports families from pregnancy through the first 1,001 critical days and beyond, delivering accessible community provision including infant weighing clinics, parent workshops, peer support groups, health education sessions and inclusive family activities.

The Foundation supports more than 2,800 parents and over 1,200 babies each year out of the Ashcroft Arts Centre, so it is critical that families have secure, developmentally appropriate seating available. Tripp Trapp Highchairs are safe, ergonomic and inclusive seating for babies and toddlers, which will enable accessibility, safety and equitable participation for families attending sessions.
