Join us for the BIG latch on, August 2nd 2013
Breastfeeding Babes in Bursledon, Fair Oak and Botley are proud to be taking part in the BIG latch on on Friday 2nd August 2013.The aims of the BIG latch on are:
- Support for communities to identify and grow opportunities to provide ongoing breastfeeding support and promotion.
- Raise awareness of breastfeeding support and knowledge available in communities.
- Help communities positively support breastfeeding in public places.
- Make breastfeeding a normal part of the day-to-day life at a local community level.
- Increase support for women who breastfeed – women are supported by their partners, family and the breastfeeding knowledge that is embedded in their communities.
- Communities have the resources to advocate for coordinated appropriate and accessible breastfeeding support services.
- Global event that we’re proud to be a part of 🙂
We are planning a picnic in the grounds of St Paul’s Church, Chamberlayne Road, Bursledon between 10am and 1pm on August 2nd. The BIG latch on will be part of this. We have the church building booked in case of bad weather and in any weather we will have access to the toilets and church kitchen.
To take part in the BIG latch on, you need to arrive at 10am so that you have time to register before the BIG latch on starts takes place at 10.30am. In addition to breastfeeding mums and babies/children, we also need volunteers to count those taking part in the BIG latch on. If you are able to help with this, please be there at 9.30am.
If you are on Facebook, please do join our event and let us know that you are coming along!
