Activities 3nd Achievements During the year ending 3110712024, The Breasrfeeding Companion began to come out of its extended hiatus. There have been two areas of focus. The first has been on updating the website and providin8 a multi-lin8ual service, thi5 15 5ti11 a work in pro8res5, but we are pleased with the work so far. The second aa of focus has been to reach out to NHS Trusts, offering Iroining packages. This work has only just started, but is seeing positive responses and results, due to the nature of our work and the ever tr'ghtening budget5 in the trusts. Financial Review There was one donation of just £10. This was only done to test the donation proce55lsoftware. There were Iwo separate payment5 for the courses. from one of the Trusts. Now that has been piloted, we hope to be able to expand that to other NHS Trusts. Apart from a processing fee of £0.32, there was no expenditure for this financial year. Conclusion With the Breastteeding Companion being on hold for so long, it's been discouraging to have made so little progress, but now we have turned a corner. we can see the areas where we can make real differences in the live5 of those who need our help. as well as those professionals thal support them.
