Our trained BOOBS Breastfeeding Peer Support Volunteers are the glue that holds our project together – we simply couldn’t support mums without them! Our current volunteers are mums from both Salford and Bury who have all completed breastfeeding peer supporter training – and crucially have all successfully breastfed their children, from between 4 months and nearly 3 years! This means they have a variety of experiences to be able to effectively give breastfeeding support. Our peer supporters can meet women 1:1 at our BOOBS Approved venues, chat to them via Whatsapp, text message, on the telephone, through video calls, or provide a home visit (depending on circumstances.) Our volunteers also support us at our monthly breastfeeding cafe events, weekly buggy and baby-wearing walks, and at stalls and events within the community.
We are always on the lookout for new volunteers – if you’re a breastfeeding mum in Salford or Bury borough, or have previously breastfed your children, and want to make a positive impact, head to our BOOBS volunteer page and fill in the form at the bottom of the page to sign up!
