Shepway and Swale breastfeeding volunteers celebrate their graduation
Our newest breastfeeding volunteers have celebrated completing their training with a Christmas themed graduation.
Congratulations to the new breastfeeding volunteers of Shepway and Swale who had their joint graduation celebration on Thursday, 12 December at the Village Children’s Centre in Folkestone.
The volunteers, and their children, also had an early surprise visit from Santa, joining the celebrations, who had gifts for the children.
Volunteers are a valuable addition to the breastfeeding drop in groups that the health visiting teams are delivering at children centres across Kent.
The volunteers are valued not only by the mothers that they support, but also the health visiting teams. They are active in their communities and are striving to normalise breastfeeding.
