Today I wanted to let you know about the GBSN (Gloucestershire Breastfeeding Supporters Network) and the brilliant service they provde to breastfeeding mothers.
Anyone who has ever breastfed will probably admit that it's not all plain sailing. Worries over soreness, whether the baby is getting enough milk, and the sheer exhaustion it can cause, lead to many mum's seeking support and this is where the GBSN comes in. They have a network of support groups and are supported purely by fundraising and donations.
Until April of this year they received funding from NHS Gloucestershire but this funding has stopped and the real threat of local support groups closing is starting to happen.
Have a look at their website, they have some great advice factsheets and details of how you can help them to fundraise by doing simple things as:
-set http://www.everyclick.com/ as your home page, register to support GBSN and use it for all your online search – you can also use it for online shopping and eBay trading
-use http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/ as your online shopping portal – after registration a percentage of your purchases goes to GBSN
-if you visit Waitrose in Cheltenham, Cirencester or Stroud, pick up a ‘Community Matters’ form and fill it in, nominating GBSN
