"Beautiful New Beginnings CIC" is an independent provider of antenatal and practical parenting classes. This Liverpool-based organisation empowers families. It supports them from pregnancy through to school age.
Our Story and Mission
Beautiful New Beginnings CIC started with a clear vision. Carolyn Whitehead, a primary school teacher, founded the organisation in 2018. She saw a need for comprehensive family support. Her goal was to empower families across Merseyside.
The initial stages involved accessing funding. Grants and local housing associations also provided support. This allowed the concept to grow.
The mission of Beautiful New Beginnings is deeply rooted in empowerment. We aim to create a supportive network. This network enables individuals to thrive. We believe in helping families lead happier, healthier lives. Our inclusive environment welcomes everyone.
Beautiful New Beginnings CIC offers a wide array of classes and courses. These are designed to support every stage of family life. We serve families from pregnancy to school age.
Our Antenatal and Pregnancy courses are comprehensive. They prepare expectant parents for childbirth. We focus on building confidence and knowledge. Topics include body changes, birth mechanics, and infant feeding. Hypnobirthing techniques are also covered. We offer breastfeeding support coffee mornings.
For Babies and Toddlers, we provide engaging sessions. These include popular Forest School activities. Stay and Play sessions offer opportunities for social interaction. Baby massage and baby yoga classes are also available. We offer weaning courses and a baby cafe.
Our support extends to 5-11 year olds. We host active Forest School sessions. Family fitness activities promote healthy lifestyles. Holiday classes keep children engaged.
We also cater to Teenagers. Our classes support their health and wellbeing. Forest school and fitness sessions are offered. Wellbeing classes address their unique needs.
Mental Health and Wellbeing are central to our work. We offer fully funded counselling services. These support both children and parents. Our SEASONS for Change programme works within schools. It empowers student counsellors.
Forest School is a cornerstone of our outdoor provision. These events run across Merseyside. They offer learning through play outdoors. Children connect with nature, explore, and take risks. These sessions foster emotional and physical wellbeing. We run them in various local green spaces.
We create a welcoming and connected environment. Every class aims to make participants feel valued. Our small group sizes ensure personalised experiences. This also helps build lasting relationships.
Our approach is holistic. We address practical parenting skills. We also focus on emotional and mental wellbeing. This integrated support helps families thrive.
We are committed to inclusivity. Our services are accessible to all. We understand diverse family needs. We adapt our offerings to meet them.
During the Covid lockdowns, we adapted quickly. Our model converted well to online delivery. This allowed us to reach a wide audience. New mums, especially, benefited from our online sessions. They accessed activities like baby massage remotely.
We have a dedicated team of professionals. This includes qualified teachers and midwives. Our staff also have SEND qualifications. They are experienced in youth mental health first aid.
Beautiful New Beginnings CIC is a Community Interest Company (CIC). This means our primary goal is community benefit. We strive to create positive change.

We host various events and workshops. These include Teddy Bears Picnics and Wellbeing Walks. Stay and Play sessions are very popular. We also offer workshops on starting school. These events foster community connection.
Our Work With Us initiative encourages community involvement. We invite individuals to contribute their skills. This strengthens our network of supporters. Their presence enhances our funding bids and tenders.
We believe in the power of unity and compassion. Our collective efforts drive positive change. We empower individuals to achieve their full potential. This strengthens our community as a whole.
Beautiful New Beginnings CIC has exciting plans for growth. We aim to expand our reach even further. We want to support more families.
We are continuously developing new programmes. This includes more online courses. We plan to launch a new website soon. A monthly subscription for a knowledge base is also in the pipeline.
We are exploring potential franchise opportunities. This would allow us to extend our successful model. We also seek sponsorship from larger organisations. This helps us expand our social responsibility initiatives.
Our future also includes new collaborations. We are working with organisations like Alder Hey. This will introduce family fitness sessions. Guided walks and pop-up events are also planned.
We remain committed to supporting parental and child mental health. This underpins all our offerings. Our ultimate goal is to see every family thrive. We envision a future where all families are empowered. They will be happy, healthy, and connected.
