I’m planning!

This afternoon I had a very exciting meeting at a new venue…I can’t tell you how long I’ve been thinking and dreaming up what I want to do with my work in a woodland space!

So keep your eyes open for a one off event coming soon and then plans for ongoing groups for wellbeing and a more mindful life as a new parent 💚

Would you like to join our NEW parent panel?

There is lots of different information given to families about their maternity care. It is important that the information is clear and easy to understand. It should include the right level of information to help families make informed decisions about their care.

We are often asked to provide service user views on new and updated leaflets, posters, information on the Badger App and other material. We need to make sure we provide feedback based on the views of a range of different people with different thoughts and experiences.

To help us to do this we a setting up a new ‘service user panel’. This will be a group of new and expectant parents who have recent experiences of maternity care. If you are interested in joining the panel email hwicb.worcsmvp@nhs.net with the subject "panel rep" and we will send you more details and a sign-up form.

If you know someone else who would like to join please share, tag or let them know.

Our FREE Newborn kits are the perfect way to trial reusable nappies from birth! Many of our Newborn kit clients are already cloth users who (understandably) don't want to splash the cash for newborn nappies to use for such a short time. But we also welcome complete newbies who have never used cloth before!

🗓️ Your volunteer will contact you the month before your EDD to arrange collection of the kit, plus advise on the kit contents, how to wash and how to fit reusable nappies. Then you take the whole kit away with you...

👫 During your loan your volunteer will be on hand for advice and support - we know how tricky those first few days and weeks can be!

💰 Then, once your kit has come back, you may already know which nappies you want to use long term with your baby (if any) and can purchase those for long term use

🤔 And if you are still on the fence about which reusables you prefer? Well, you can loan a BTP kit then!

Pop us a message with your EDD to be added to the waiting list...

We also have BTP kits available if baby weighs over 10lb, so get in touch if that applies to you too!
