It Takes a Village is an uplifting and informative mini-podcast series brought to you by The National Lottery. Hosted by TV presenter and parenting podcaster Anna Williamson, It Takes a Village showcases the amazing National Lottery funded charities that offer support to mums that might be needing some extra hope, advice and guidance at this time.

In Episode 1, we speak to two baby banks - like food banks but providing clothes, toys and equipment for babies and young families. Anna speaks to Hilary Johnston, foster mum and founder of Cwtch in Cardiff, and Sophie Livingstone, the CEO Little Village who are based in London.
