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.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Ms P · Posted

      I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.

      JP Plastering - John McCann - Recommended Plasterer

      By Ms P · Posted

      John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.

      Your second point contradicts your first (and previous post)
