On behalf of Balladen Children's Centre and Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust I am asking for a total of
£2920.00 to cover the cost of training Community Health Champions; producing the fold-out leaflet to issue to
women when they book in with their midwife; and the cost of staffing a total of 8 antenatal sessions targeted at
the BME community.
