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.

      A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......
