Please help us save babies' lives
Jul 22, 2016
Milk banks provide safe, screened donated breastmilk and operate in a similar way to the blood transfusion service. Donated breastmilk is then provided to sick and premature babies on neonatal units who do not have access to their own mothers' milk, and human milk is truly life-saving for these children. However, NHS milk banks in London have suffered recent widespread budgetary and staffing cuts, and there is a growing crisis in donor milk provision across London and the southeast.We have therefore founded a social enterprise milk bank (hertsmilkbank.com), which urgently needs start up funding to rent lab space at a university and buy equipment. We have filmed for a crowdfunding film and would be grateful for any help in planning and implementing a crowdfunding campaign, hopefully to launch in early October. Our non-executive board members include a marketing expert with over 30 years experience in the business, so could be a great opportunity to learn from her for anyone who came along to help us.Thanks so much!
