Course information:
We are training a cohort of Breastfeeding Network peer support volunteers to support families across Birmingham, at community venues, Children’s Centres and on hospital maternity wards.
We are keen to ensure the volunteers represent the local population so encourage applications from people who speak other languages – please include detail in your application if this applies to you. Following completion of the training and registration with the Breastfeeding Network, volunteers will be expected to commit to regular volunteering for a period of at least one year.
