Calling all political parties to commit to breastfeeding & child health! We have one of the lowest bf rates in Europe. Mothers & families need better support. Let's make bf a priority in the next Programme for Government. Tell your local candidates & get the conversation started!
We are seeking a trustee with experience in finance/governance (the fundraising role is now filled).
Please share widely & if you'd like to know more get in touch! Details here: tinyurl.com/FoBFTrustees
