BEST wishes go to new local charity the Ooops! Foundation.

It’s been started to help reduce numbers of teenage mothers in Bolton and to help young mums not to give up their career dreams and plans.

Mother of three daughters Chinelo Menkiti was inspired to start it after seeing an NHS report that 250 Bolton teenage girls became pregnant each year, and by a chance meeting with a young mum whose own mother had kicked her out.

Raising awareness and offering practical help are definitely the best ways to tackle this problem, and give hope to girls who become pregnant.
