Cake Club offers support for parents before, during and after pregnancy, and for as long afterwards as may be needed. We also work alongside Parenting-on-Sea to offer more targeted support as needed.
In the video below, Lizzie (founder of Cake Club), explains more about what Cake Club offers:
Group Support:
Cake Club is a weekly support and play group which is open to all parents during pregnancy and after birth. Sessions run on:
- Mondays and Fridays at The Haven Community Hub in Westcliff
- Tuesdays in Rochford (weekly) and Leigh-on-Sea (fortnightly)
- Wednesdays at Bellevue Baptist Church in Southend
- Thursdays in Shoebury and Eastwood
- Saturdays in Westcliff (2nd Saturday of the month) and Leigh (4th Saturday of the month)
Most sessions combine the sling library and infant feeding support with a social and supportive playgroup; a community of like-minded parents coming together for tea, cake and chat.
Slings-On-Sea:
Slings-on-Sea works alongside Cake Club to offer in-person support to families in Southend, Rochford and Castle Point, and online support is available to everyone, wherever you may be.
Sling support can be accessed at our Cake Club sessions as well as privately - consultations are held in Westcliff or can be arranged as a home visit. Individual tailored support and advice is available for all parents and carers who want to carry their children; we have a range of slings and carriers available for hire, suitable from newborn to toddler.
