provisioning three venues facilitated by
Breastfeeding Counsellors (the

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 five 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 2024, there were 110 Café Milk sessions
across Horley, Redhill, and Caterham. The
peer supporter team collectively provided
over 500 voluntary hours. Five additional
peer supporters received training, who are
now volunteering regularly in our cafes. A
total of 587 new mothers and their babies
attended a Café Milk session in 2025,
resulting in 1190 visits overall. Notably, 1 in

Surrey attended Café Milk.

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.
