Hi ladies,


Some of you may know me, others may not. My names Gina, (as you may of guessed) and I'm a voluntary peer counselor at Dulwich Breastfeeding Cafe. Hi to all those that have been in and had advice in the past and everybody else of course!


I'm researching a little, and need your help and advice please. All will be taken back to my next meeting concerning how Dulwich BF Cafe is getting on and how everybody feels about it.


Were after peoples views on the Cafe environment being a bit clinical and also too small at times (sorry if you've been there when its been extremely busy recently, bit of a squish!). We are perhaps wondering if we should be looking into trying to find a brighter and preferably larger room? Peckham is a brilliant example of what we would expect for Dulwich also. Few posters on the wall, and peoples stories if they would like to share for display.


We face one problem, funding. Due to recent cuts we no longer have a budget really so would require the venue for free on Monday mornings between 10-12. Of course we could stay at Townley Road but we are after your views before investigating any further. Realise its a shot in the dark, but something might crop up we just never know.


Thanks for reading, all comments or PM gratefully received. Toddler now awake tugging at my arms, if i've forgot anything will add to thi slater. x

Have you looked into the big room at the top of the Dulwich library or somewhere in Christ Church? Both are nice, big rooms but not sure of they would incur a cost. I haven't been to Townly road for the cafe so can't comment.


I would be happy to come and share my story about breastfeeding which has been largely positive. I am still feeding my daughter 15 months on. I would've liked to train as a counsellor as well but unfortunately the course took place on Wednesdays when I was working. Good luck with your search.

      I don't need you to tell me to 'fight against' racism.  I know what it looks it like, thank you.  And China would be our enemy whether we were in Europe or not (and has been for a long time), so that's immaterial.  I remember covering an EDL march 12 years ago, when there was a Cons-Lib Dem coalition, so the idea that this is a new problem is rubbish. BUT Reform is doing an excellent job of galvanising a minority in reaction to smug liberals like you, who blame the electorate's collective ignorance for all the country's demons.  What right have you for a moral mandate?

      Both Labour and Conservatives can remove the threat of a Reform government by making making two major policy promises. And these are .......... (1) categorically state that they will take Britain out of the ECHR and (2) Undertake to remove any new small boat arrivals to Rwanda or wherever else. Reform is basically a single issue party and adopting (1) & (2) would send Reform into obscurity. The country has had enough of our judiciary making a gold-plated interpretation of the ECHR statutes.

      You fight against by not pretending. By calling it what it is. Instead of slyly pretending they are not racist “actually”  recognise what the country is facing and say “no” why do you even need to ask the question?
