Connected Parents CIC

Community-led support through pregnancy, birth, feeding, and beyond

👋 Who We Are

Connected Parents CIC is a not-for-profit organisation created by sisters Sarah Drawwater (Doula, Antenatal Educator) and Jo Thompson (Breastfeeding Counsellor, Infant Feeding Worker).

We exist to provide real-world, inclusive, and welcoming support for parents in and around Ramsey — from pregnancy right through to those early weeks of life with a baby.

Our community support is rooted in warmth, knowledge, and human connection — not judgement, pressure, or one-size-fits-all answers.

Our Services

Ramsey Breastfeeding Support Group

Mondays 1.30-2.30 at Ramsey Cricket Pavilion

This relaxed weekly group offers a welcoming space for parents and babies to connect, chat, and access infant feeding support.

Run by Jo & Sarah, the group includes:

  • Professional breastfeeding support

  • Infant feeding support

  • Non-judgemental chat and reassurance

  • Community connection

Suggested donation: £3 per family
Cash or card – donations optional but appreciated to help with venue hire, refreshments, and running costs.

Antenatal Evening Courses

Various times a year - Sliding scale cost £150-250-350

We run six-week antenatal and infant feeding courses designed to help parents feel calm, confident, and supported.

These courses are offered on a sliding scale, so you can choose the price that fits your situation — currently made possible by our grant from Cheshire Community Foundation and working together with Maddie’s Miracle.
