Getting there

We have managed to get an advert to appear in the local press for the upcoming Picnic in the Park, and hope we can have alot of new families come along and join us for a big breastfeed. They paper is going to come on the day and do an article and some photos too to publish the following week, so we are very happy with that. Also we have had another meeting with the Designers and have agreed a fee for the design of a poster and to have some posters/fliers produced, we are hoping to place these in places other than Health settings so that the profile of breastfeeding and the peer supporters will be more public.

Also we have had our new bags printed with the logo, so all the ‘tool kit’ can go live very soon. Karen and myself met with a rep from a breastfeeding products company and have also agreed some new products to be used locally aswell as having some things donated to be used in the kits.

Because we have now approached the school holidays the peer work slows a little because groups we attend go on hold in local centres and of course alot of volunteers have children off school, so this is an opportune time to spend some time in preparation for the September term starting again with new enthusiasm and vigor. Of course there are some still very active and doing a fantastic job.

I hope to add some photos soon of the things we have discussed here - t-shirts, the picnic, our tool kits etc.
