Northampton charity's house gets a DIY makeover
Part of Life’s Pregnancy Matters service, the building houses a space for counselling, a place to live and practical support for women in crisis pregnancies and all those affected by pregnancy loss.
Carpets and blinds for the redecoration were supplied by Northampton Borough Councillor, Penny Flavell, with help from her Empowerment Fund.

Ellen Rufus, Pregnancy Matters Support Worker for the Northampton House, said: “The house feels so much more homely.
“The team from Nationwide were amazing – they did all they came to do and more.
“They even offered to come back when the weather is warmer to do some more painting outside.”
