It Takes a Village Canterbury bundle managers Jess Roberts (left) and Danielle Petterd need a new place to prepare emergency baby supplies from. It Takes a Village Canterbury currently operates out of the garages of two volunteers, but it’s no longer safe or realistic to do so, given they live more than 30 minutes apart. It sources the items from others through a number of pay-it-forward Facebook groups started by the charity in 2016. When the groups collectively grew to more than 10,000 members, It Takes A Village Canterbury was established in 2017 as a way to share resources to where they were most needed.
