Our breastfeeding groups started in 2002, by building a team of qualified Breastfeeding Counsellors and our valued Peer Supporter network – who have been and remain an integral part of the GBSN make up.
The official charity was formed in 2007.
Since then, we have grown into a network of seven support groups across Gloucestershire county, offer 1:1 video calls and facilitate Preparation for Breastfeeding workshops. We also run training sessions for our Peer Supporters and volunteers.
