Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When my wife was struggling to breastfeed our son the BFN were a fantastic support. They provide peer support and social groups which are crucial for successful breastfeeding. My wife has now trained to support others and continues to attend BFN groups. 

The Breastfeeding Network rely on the enthusiasm and commitment of their volunteers and supporters. They don’t get any central government funding. To ensure that the support and information they provide continues to be independent they do not accept sponsorship from commercial companies linked to infant feeding. Their activities are funded by subscriptions, donations and fundraising to offer life-changing support to families as they take their precious first steps with their new baby.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

The Breastfeeding Network (BfN) is a UK-wide, independent, voluntary organisation providing information and support for breastfeeding women and those involved in their care. It offers training for volunteers, provides telephone and face-to-face support and runs the Drugs in Breastmilk Helpline.
