Slings & Support Wirral CIC was established in 2023 to help us to expand our work, reaching more families with our support, and breaking down financial and access barriers to babywearing.
From pregnancy to new parenthood, for those with older babies and toddlers, it can be an overwhelming time. Babywearing can be a powerful part of your parenting toolkit! We work with local families to find them a sling that they love. We make sure that they, and their baby, feel safe and secure. We support parents with building a secure relationship with their children.
Community Initiative
Slings & support Wirral CIC (who run the Wirral Sling Library) have recently received a donation from Warburtons (money, not crumpets) to enable us to expand our existing Community Initiative.
- Free babywearing support for those in need
- Free support using your own sling or carrier
Free or reduced cost long term hires of a sling, wrap or carrier suitable for you and your little one.
What does this mean?
If you would like to use a sling, wrap or carrier with your little one, but can't afford to hire or buy something safe and comfortable, we can help. You can borrow a sling, wrap or carrier for 3-6 months free of charge. At the end of this period, we check in with you - we can renew your hire, or we can change you over to something else. If you already have a sling, wrap or carrier we can help you to use it safely and comfortably.
Just book on to one of our Small Group Sessions using the code "PENNY" to access the scheme - there are no formal criteria, just that the existing booking and hire fees are not affordable for you.
Who is this aimed at?
Aimed at parents and carers on low incomes who would benefit from support with babywearing
