Café Milk delivers its purposes by provisioning three venues facilitated by Breastfeeding Counsellors (the subcontractor costs within the accounts), each once a week during term time, for 2 hour sessions. Café Milk also aims to provision some limited sessions during the summer holidays. The three venues are all located within Surrey in the towns of Horley, Redhill and Caterham. The Trustees work closely with First Community Health and Care within East Surrey to enable Health Visitor attendance at the vast majority of these sessions. These session predominantly provide support and practical advice to families with regards to breastfeeding techniques and health benefits, but are also able to deliver support and advice on a wide range of topics throughout the infant years which also support the preservation of good health for the public benefit. |
| Café Milk endeavours to offer a comfortable and ‘homely’ environment to its recipients, offering refreshments and lights snacks and also ensures that it has all of the required facilities for new parents and their infants, as such there are a small amount of sundry costs within the accounts. Café Milk also delivered Breastfeeding Peer Support training to seven new Peer Supporters to expand support available during the sessions and expertise within the local community. |

Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | In 2023, there were 110 Café Milk sessions across Horley, Redhill, and Caterham. The peer supporter team collectively provided over 500 voluntary hours. Seven additional peer supporters received training, who are now volunteering regularly in our cafes. A total of 467 new mothers and their babies attended a Café Milk session in 2023, resulting in 1154 visits overall. Notably, 22% of new mothers who gave birth in East Surrey attended Café Milk. This service has been invaluable in providing both infant feeding support and social support to new mothers, creating a welcoming community where they can share experiences and receive evidence- based advice and peer support. The service provisioned at Café Milk, in partnership with health providers, ensures that new mothers receive comprehensive support during this crucial time. |
