Resource Bank
Your licence fee entitles you to access our Resource Bank
which contains an ever growing collection of resources and information for
you to use. You will find templates for publicity materials, order details
for promotional resources and back copies of all our newsletters and
updates, to name just a few.
You
will need the password which was sent to you during the licensing process. If
you have forgotten it please contact our administrator.
The Baby Café Handbook
All our licensed drop-ins receive a copy of The Baby Café Handbook
which outlines in great detail everything you need to know about setting
up and running your group. We recommend that the handbook be made
available to co-facilitators, volunteers and peer supporters so that
everyone involved is aware of the policies and aims of The Baby
Café. It is a handbook that you can keep available for reference in
case you have any queries in the future.
Licence Certificate
Your Licence Certificate must be displayed at your venue.
Statistics and Feedback
In addition to the ongoing records necessary for efficient running of
your Baby Café drop-in, Baby Café facilitators are under agreement to provide the Charitable Trust
with detailed statistics and feedback annually which we need to complete the charity's annual report.
You should begin collecting this
information as soon as your Baby Café is open. Further information and a
data collection tool is available in the Resource
Bank.

Publicity
Babies grow and mums move on so it is very important to continue
publicising your Baby Café drop-in to make ante-natal and new mums aware
of what you offer. You will find further publicity ideas in The Baby
Café Handbook and resources to use in our Resource
Bank.
Funding
In today’s health care climate this can be
one of the greatest challenges in sustaining a Baby Café drop-in. Therefore
you will find detailed information in The Baby Café Handbook and Resources
Bank to help you apply for further funding under The Baby Café
Charitable Trust name. It is vital that you keep the Charitable
Trust up-to-date with your fundraising activities as the charity is
legally accountable for all monies raised.
