The Baby Check clinic is just completing its first year and we have treated over 225 babies free of charge. These babies are predominantly signposted to our service by Health Visitors and Lactation Consultants in the BANES Area Health Authority.
We have had a fantastic response to our questionnaires evaluating the service and the results are very favourable! These are being written up for publication in a relevant journal.
We have raised over £25,000 thanks to generous donations from charitable trusts, research bodies, many fundraising events, donations from individuals and promotions by our online donation processors – : www.localgiving.com/babycheckbath
In 2016 we want to raise the bar on donations so we can continue our vital research ambitions by focussing on difficult feeding issues and to expand the clinic times offered by Baby Check. At present, we have a 6 week waiting list and we dearly want to reduce this waiting time for mothers and babies at this critical stage of the baby’s growth and development.
Our first major fund raising event for 2016 will be the Bath Vitality Half Marathon http://bathhalf.co.uk/
