Keep sharing the petition! Hopefully Change.org can sort their server issues out! I have just seen that there is now a meeting next Tuesday morning 9.30 - 11.30) at Punk Me Up cafe to discuss the closure. It's being organised by the King's Maternity Services Liaison Committee. Info on the King's MSLC Facebook page.

GSTT run the Lambeth milk spots (I volunteer at one of them) and their funding appears to be secure. It's the Southwark breastfeeding cafes run by King's midwives that are being cut.

Glad someone is already on this! I had my son's tongue tie diagnosed at the Peckham cafe and would have given up (depressed and distraught) without it. I went on to train as a breastfeeding peer supporter. I love volunteering but we cannot do without these specialist midwives, many of whom are trained lactation consultants. I really want to be able to help campaign against this short-sighted cut! Harriet Harman should probably be contacted too as it also affects services in her constituency. Is the Change.org petition working? I got a dead link...

There is a regular sign up week with Swim School and I'm not sure when the next one is. I need to pop in and ask. You need to be fairly on the case and go in and queue up that Mon morning to be sure of a spot, but once you're in a class you get priority booking for the next term, so that's a one-off hassle. You go in with little ones under three and then I think older than that, they go in themselves. Can anyone else confirm? Anyway, go for it. At ?60 for 10 lessons, it's brilliant.

Karen!!!! That's her. She's brilliant, isn't she? Thanks guys!

My son was recently taking swimming lessons at Peckham Pulse with an absolutely lovely instructor on Thursday mornings. We've been travelling so had to take a break and I want to sign him up again but want to make sure we have the same instructor. She really made him feel at ease. I'm kicking myself that I can't remember the lovely lady's name. Can anyone help jog my memory?!
