Song ‘Wonderful’:

We represent milk banking in the UK at a national level and our aim is the formation of a national donor breastmilk service that would supply infants throughout the UK according to priority of need rather than according to the chance location of an infant’s birth.

We also run conferences, produce newsletters and hold meetings all of which share and disseminate information about milk banking.

In these ways we have supported the existing milk banks and UKAMB has been of fundamental importance in providing the necessary support for all the newly opened milk banks in the UK.

We aim to ensure everyone working in this small field is able to benefit from our collective experience and knowledge; overseas, newly established milk banks in Africa and Australia have benefited from the work of UKAMB and many countries receive support in their endeavours to start banks of their own.

UKAMB has been largely responsible for the resurgence of interest in human milk banking in the UK. Since the year 2000, there has been a year on year increase in the number of donors and the volumes of donated breastmilk collected.

Historically our funding has come mainly from membership subscriptions and the sale of guidelines however donations and funds raised on our behalf will help to secure the future of milk banking in the UK.

UKAMB is reliant on membership for most of its income and recently Trustees have been looking at ways to increase its sources of financial support. A special £10 per year membership fee (reduced from £25 per year) for Professional members (ie midwives, neonatal nurses, lactation consultants, neonatologists etc) was agreed at the AGM in November. However despite a concerted effort to gain new members at the BFI conference in Glasgow, only 2 new people joined.

In an attempt to attract financial support from the wider public, UKAMB has signed up to the Justgiving scheme. This enables individual supporters to raise money on behalf of the charity by attracting sponsorship for a particular event or simply by sending a donation. If the donor is a UK tax payer, the fees for the scheme are deducted from the tax that charities can claim back ie that has already been paid by the donor to the Inland Revenue.

UKAMB urges all supporters to encourage family and friends to help us raise the funds that are needed. Our support for milk banks is dependent upon more income being generated. Please go to www.justgiving.com/ukamb to help UKAMB continue to ensure that Every Drop Counts.
