Donations made to this page will go towards The Breastfeeding Network South and East Hampshire and Isle of Wight projects covering Isle of Wight, Gosport, Fareham, Havant, East Hampshire and surrounding areas.

In 2016 Hampshire County Council stopped funding for all third sector breastfeeding support and since then we have relied on fundraising and grants to enable the South and East Hampshire project to continue.  As part of that in 2021 we applied for, and received funding to, expand our project onto the Isle of Wight.  This funding enabled us to provide one of our accredited training courses for parents to train as peer support volunteers in both areas and in April 2023 we received funding from Public Health on the Isle of Wight to partner with Barnardos and expand the service further.

*Where will my donation go?*

In November 2023 we received 5 years National Lottery funding and we are now looking to secure funds to increase our training, provide social events for local families and our volunteers, cover central system costs and give us some security for future years.

We have an amazing team of 45 volunteers supporting local families with infant feeding. We offer both online and face-to-face support within the community.

All our support is offered free of charge and for details of all the services we provide please visit:

If you have any questions please contact ginny.dupont@breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk.

Thank you so much for giving your support and enabling our valued service to continue.
