PEER SUPPORT SERVICE

Reading

We currently offer a volunteer-led drop-in service across Reading.

Confidential face-to-face support is offered by our friendly peer support volunteers. All Reading families are welcome to access our service.

Our volunteers can help with establishing and continuing breastfeeding, expressing, bottle feeding, weaning from breastfeeding and introducing solids. They can listen to any questions or concerns regarding any stage of a breastfeeding journey for any age of child/ren.

We will support you in your feeding choices. Whatever your question, or if you just want to chat to someone please come along to a drop-in or request a video call.
