Support when having a baby is vital and thanks to the wonderful Midwives in the community, they offer that. But who supports them? Well today we hear from the Waitara Soroptimist Club who are busy organising a fundraiser for just that - a training mannequin for them to use and learn a variety of birthing scenarios that will help mums and babies in our community in the long run. We also hear about the great events happening at the TET Stadium in Inglewood and how you can get involved.
