Story

Petra was started in 2017, with the aim of providing a nurturing home for young mothers and their babies who are facing homelessness. We offer safety and support to help young parents grow in confidence, and prepare themselves for independent living.

Following the success of our Bath house, we are opening a second home in Trowbridge, and we are in desperate need of donations to help us furnish it. All money raised will go towards buying items for the house things like cooking utensils, bedding, furniture and the necessities for new mothers - and will really help to make the place feel like a home. Anything you are able to give will help us to support and empower these women, and allow them to focus on bonding with their babies and building lasting memories.

Thank you!
