Welcome to the Cheshire & North Wales Human Milk Bank

The Cheshire and North Wales Human Milk Bank was established in 2003 and is based at the Countess of Chester Hospital.  On average we process 1000 litres of donated breastmilk each year.  Our coverage for donors and recipients of human breast milk spans from Carlisle to Cardiff.

Thank you to everyone who came along to our Coffee Morning on the 11th April 2013 to launch our new DVD "Using Donor Breast Milk."  We were delighted to have Ricky and Rita Tomlinson to join us and key supporters of our charity.

How you can help:

We aim to have a regional service whereby all babies have access to donated breast milk irrespective of the location of their birth.  If you would like your baby to receive breast milk, please contact us. All requests will be given our consideration.  

Every year babies are born in the Chester area needing the expert support of the Special Care Baby Unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Research demonstrates that these sick and premature babies can have their chances of survival and long term development substantially improved if fed with breast milk.
