Story
Thank you for visiting the fundraising page for the Balham Baby Cafe and Online Breastfeeding Drop-ins, provided by Clapham NCT.
The Balham Baby Cafe is a free, welcoming drop-in service run by an NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor every Thursday from 10am to 12noon (last entry 11.30am) at the Balham Baptist Church, 21 Ramsden Road, London, SW12 8QX.
We also offer free online Zoom Breastfeeding Drop-ins, hosted by an NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor every Monday and Friday from 10am-12noon. Access to these sessions is shared in our Balham Breastfeeding Cafe WhatsApp and Facebook groups.
While these services are free and open to all parents, they cost £180 per week to run and are funded entirely by donations from parents and fundraising efforts by Clapham NCT volunteers.
Here's how your donation can help:
- £15 covers the costs of a 20-minute consultation, either in person or online.
- £25 covers the venue costs for the Balham Baby Cafe for one week.
- £40 funds an hour of support from a qualified Breastfeeding Counsellor.
- £100 supports the operation of the Balham Baby Cafe for one week.
- £180 covers the full cost of running both the Balham Baby Cafe and the online support sessions for one week.
Since launching our first breastfeeding cafe in 2008, we've supported hundreds of local parents. However, our FUNDS ARE NOW RUNNING CRITICALLY LOW, and we rely on your generosity to continue providing this essential support.
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference in keeping the Balham Baby Cafe and online Breastfeeding Drop-ins accessible to all parents.
