Share your experiences of infant feeding and help improve support and services for parents

Birmingham and Solihull Family Hubs are pleased to share an opportunity for parents to contribute to their upcoming 5-year Infant Feeding Strategy. This work has been commissioned by Birmingham and Solihull Councils. Your insights and experiences are invaluable in ensuring that the councils develop a strategy that reflects the needs and voices of the community. The strategy aims to improve infant feeding support and services, ensuring that all families have access to the best possible care and guidance. Your feedback will be completely anonymous. You can share your experiences on this link. The survey will close on Sunday 20 October 2024, so we encourage you to take part as soon as possible. Your participation will directly influence how services are shaped and delivered, ensuring that they meet the needs of families in our community. Thank you very much for your time and support.

Child Friendly Neighbourhood is a programme by The Springfield Project that works with children, families and local partners to help make Sparkhill a safer, healthier and more child-friendly place to grow up.

From holiday playschemes and outdoor activities to giving young people a voice in shaping their community, the programme creates opportunities for children to play, connect and thrive.

During our Startwell Stay & Play session for children aged 2 and under, we hosted a fussy eating workshop focused on #Micky Me Size portion guidance, providing families with one-to-one support where needed. 

Healthy Start vitamins and practical fact sheets for families to take home. The children explored the variety of activities from tracing their hands,  role-playing with foods and dinosaurs.
