THE BREASTFEEDING COMPANION

We promote the physical and mental health of mothers through the provision of education in the techniques of breastfeeding. We also provide education to the general public and medical staff regarding the health benefits of breastfeeding. We do this through online training, workshops, and seminars. We target England and Wales, although, because it's an online training, is available worldwide.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
