Story
Please help us support more breastfeeding families. The knowledge, information and support we give to mothers is free of charge but reaching the families we support costs us money. Lack of support is one of the main reasons many mothers stop breastfeeding before they want to. We’ll use your money to support mothers and babies and help them meet their breastfeeding goals.
Hi, I'm Kerry, listed solo Leader at LLL Chelmsford. In our first year, I supported mothers across Essex in over 300 helping situations ranging from our local group meetings to social media support, text message, local calls and the charity's national helpline. At our Chelmsford group, donations have allowed us to stock a library of books to lend to mothers on topics in line with our philosophy and we have a number of paid members; mothers who have generously given funds to pay forward the support they received. But we now need to secure the future of the group by raising funds and spreading the word about the support we offer and the costs we have to cover.
All our Leaders are volunteers and sign an annual statement of commitment to serve the organisation and to never profit personally from their Leader role. The National Charity has only two part-time paid employees, all other personnel are volunteers, including the Council of Directors and Trustees. So you can be sure all funds raised are going right to the families who need our timely support. Thank you.

6 years agoThank you so much to everyone who has donated to our local group via our Just Giving page. This allows us to continue supporting women across Essex on their breastfeeding journeys. If you have received a call, come to a meet or received a reply to your breastfeeding query from LLL Chelmsford, please consider paying it forward. The support is free, but the means of providing it costs money. Thank you xxx

In spring 2016 you saved my first Breastfeeding journey. I never got the chance to thank you since your suggestions of Reynaulds was right and my GP later prescribed the suggested medicine.

I have stopped breastfeeding this month and it’s has made me very reflective about mine and Evelyn’s breastfeeding journey! Without a doubt I wouldn’t have made it to almost 13 months with out Kerry!
