Donate

As a charity, our essential running costs and all of our projects and services rely heavily on donations. Much of the standard funding we receive has to be used for specific, restricted areas of our work such as areas in which we deliver NHS commissioned services.

With donations we have more flexibility in deciding how the money is used. This will enable us to reach more women and families, when and where they need us.  

Received support from one of our services or on the helplines?

Downloaded a useful leaflet or some Drugs in Breastmilk information?

Chatted to someone via Web Chat or Facebook and Instagram?

If you have found our support useful please consider donating to help us continue to support families. Even a £1 donation can make a difference, imagine how many families we could support if everyone who looked at this website and found some useful information donated £1.

Every penny we raise goes towards helping more mums in the UK to breastfeed their babies for as long as they want to.

Donate online
