This cost ensures the opening of the group every week, venue hire, the attendance of a qualified breastfeeding counsellor, resources and information for families, training of our peer supporters, refreshments, insurance, accounting and administration.

We are asking for one-off donations of just £50 from 100 generous businesses or individuals local to each of our groups.

100 x £50 = £5,000 and will run one local support group for one year.
