## **WHO ARE WE?**
Spelthorne Breastfeeding Friends is a charitable group established to contribute to the promotion, protection and continuation of breastfeeding within the Borough of Spelthorne.
Our objectives are to:
Promote volunteering of mothers of any age who have breastfed their own baby/s or are still breastfeeding and have the unique quality of being able to relate to mothers from a similar community, culture and values sets
Develop capabilities, competencies, skills, understanding and employability of volunteers
Act as a source of up-to-date information about breastfeeding and feeding-related issues, the practical task of looking after babies and the importance of attunement, attachment and empathy
Provide mother-to-mother breastfeeding and other practical support for new mothers
Work closely with other organisations is Spelthorne who are supporting new parents
Help promote the benefits of breastfeeding to women less likely to breastfeed and providing appropriate support
## **VOLUNTEER ACTIVITY**
## **Breast pump hire scheme**
Our free breast pump hire scheme has continued to be accessed from parents in Spelthorne and the surrounding boroughs although the demand has been much less than in previous years. The day-to-day administration is run by a volunteer and two other volunteers are acting as pump hire agents - organising the collection/delivery of pumps and offering expressing and breastfeeding support to mothers hiring the pumps. The scheme is actively promoted at Ashford and St Peter's Hospital and the midwives have told us how valuable parents find it when they are working on establishing breastfeeding.
THIS YEAR WE HIRED THIS YEAR WE HIRED OUT AROUND 25 PUMPS OUT AROUND 25 PUMPS
## **TRAINING**
We have put training on hold for the present time chosing only to focus on the breastpump hire scheme for now
