Who we are

Anew have been supporting pregnant women and new mothers, particularly those at risk of or experiencing homelessness, since 1981. Anew keeps the mother and baby as the top priority and through our unique service, we work intensively to support, safeguard and protect the women, babies and children we work with, while supporting them to access appropriate housing and accommodation as soon as possible.  We aim to:

  1. Provide preventative and early intervention support for better lifelong outcomes – to break the cycle of poverty and socio-economic disadvantage.
  2. Improve post-natal health and well- being for mother and baby.
  3. Reduce homelessness for pregnant women and new mothers.
  4. Promote and protect the health, wellbeing and rights of the women and babies we work with.

This is achieved by ensuring that pregnant women are supported through their pregnancy and early motherhood, practically through the provision of supported temporary accommodation and life skills, and emotionally through intensive key-working, peer to peer support and counselling. A top objective is for a rapid exit from homelessness and a move to sustainable and safe long-term tenancy.

What we do

The women we support come from all walks of life with many seeking support with domestic violence, addiction and mental health while also experiencing homelessness as a pregnant woman or a new mother. 

Our award-winning service in North Co. Dublin encompasses all that Anew is; Cherry Blossom Cottage provides supported accommodation for pregnant women and new mothers, offering intensive supports for women, during their pregnancy and into new motherhood. Our experienced social care workers, housing workers and support workers support the women in developing practical life skills, parenting skills and health considerations while also assisting them in finding their forever homes. 

In our day services in Haven House, located in Dublin City Centre, we offer a space where pregnant women and new mothers can attend peer-to-peer group sessions and avail of parenting support and counselling.

We also provide outreach support to pregnant women and new mums living in direct provision centres, family hubs and temporary accommodation. 

We are committed to measuring the impact of our services to ensure we are always supporting the women in the best way possible. To do this, we use the evidence-based Outcome Star measurement tool to continually improve our services for those who need it most.
