Slings & Support Wirral CIC runs Wirral Sling Library, which supports families of babies and toddlers in the local area with babywearing. The Sling Library has run 27 small group sessions, 2 workshops for parents to be, and one to one sessions for those with more complex needs. We have supported around 190 families through this. Families who babywear have reported that babywearing has improved their mental health, helped them to bond with their baby, and helped them to get out and about within their community. Secure babies become secure toddlers, and children, with both short term and long benefits for them and their community. As well as providing babywearing support, we provide general support and signposting to other services as appropriate eg for feeding or mental health support. During the year we have supported 12 families with free of charge long term loans of slings, wrap and carriers where they faced financial barriers. “Thank you so much, what an amazing session, it truly gave me lots of confidence” – service user, 2nd time parent of 5 week old with reflux. “We use the sling daily, and I’m super thankful to the sling library for making life that much easier and for the sharing knowledge around safe babywearing. Thank you” – service user, 2nd time parent of 15 month old with epilipesy
Our main stakeholders are our sling library customers. We had 73 responses to an anonymous survey– a summary of that report is available upon request. As a result of this survey, we have added more opportunities for one-to-one sessions as many people tell us they are anxious in group. We are also publicising our Community scheme, which allows for free advice and hire, more. The parents we support tend to be older, and we are seeking to form links with those supporting younger parents to support babywearing in these families. Other stakeholders include our funders and donors all of whom we maintain regular communications with either through social media or more official lines related to grants.
