Dexter was the youngest person to Walk the Testway 2018, along with the rest of the Bird family in order to raise funds for Andover's Breastfeeding drop-in classes.

When my first child was born, I struggled with Breastfeeding, it hurt, was frustrating and exhausting. Fortunately there was an amazing local resource for Breastfeeding support, freely available to anyone who needed help.

I also went to the drop-in sessions with my second child as he was so different I needed different support. With both children there was a need for minor medical intervention, and as well as breastfeeding support the team were able to signpost me to information and give reassurance. It was a lifeline and helped me avoid the worst of Post-Natal Depression, knowing there was someone to talk to without judgement, with care and kindness.

The funding for this vital support has been cut, and is totally reliant on donations and grants, anything that you can give will help another mum feed her baby, access information and support, and be part of a community in those crucial first weeks..

Please do sponsor us, everything helps.
