Face to Face Support
Barnardo’s in partnership with South Gloucestershire Council, run free, drop in breastfeeding groups every week in six local areas: Hanham, Yate, Patchway, Staple Hill, Thornbury and Cadbury Heath.
These groups provide a relaxed, social space where you can meet other families, share experiences, and access skilled infant feeding support.
We warmly welcome all family types and backgrounds. Partners, supportive friends, and siblings are encouraged to come along, and our venues are accessible to ensure everyone feels included.
You don’t need to wait until your baby arrives - many parents find it helpful to attend during pregnancy to ask questions, build confidence, and connect with others before birth.
Whether you’re looking for practical guidance, reassurance, or simply a friendly place to spend time, our groups are here for you.
Unfortunately on occasion, we may need to close short notice - please check Facebook on Bristol Breastfeeding Mummies and the group for each Face to face group before you make the journey (click on the above links to find information for Facebook)
A list of face to face groups running in neighbouring Bristol can be found here.
