Building Bonds Project

Did you know we work with professionals across the UK?

This feedback was left by an Antenatal teacher from a local organisation to this family. They got in touch to refer the family to us for support, and we arranged for a consultation with the lovely Chester Sling Library and carrier donation.

If you have clients who need some support please don't hesitate to get in touch with us and see how we can help!

We were delighted to support Lyndsey in getting a LennyLamb preschool carrier. This is wonderful for kids from around 2 years old onwards and can last until they get into primary school! We were also excited to work with Chester Sling Library to make sure she got in person support in learning how to use the carrier.

Lyndsey said:

"Bertie is loving being carried again, especially in a back carry where he can still be nosey, I also now run a playgroup on Thursdays and sometimes he gets very overstimulated in the social environment so the carrier has been priceless in helping to co regulate him while also still doing snack and packing away etc.

We cannot thank you enough for the carrier and the fitting with Lizzie as we have such a comfortable carry now, thank you so much!"

We know a lot of parents worry about how to carry safely, so here's a great breakdown on safe carrying from Carrying Matters - Dr Rosie Knowles

Having a child with medical needs can effect the whole family. Saima was referred to us from her local library as her daughter had several medical concerns which were impacting Saima's ability to spend time with her son.

We donated a Beco Baby Carrier Beco 8 carrier which is supportive for children with lower muscle tone, and easy to use when caring for a toddler and a baby!

Building Bonds Project supports families with lots of different needs. In this case we donated a Minimonkey Twin Carrier to a single mum who couldn't access support due to financial hardship.

She was supported in person by her local sling library to make sure the carrier was fitting well and that she was confident in using it to carry her children.
