The Breast Room

The Breast Room

Free drop-in clinic for breastfeeding women and their families, providing specialist one to one help. Continuous support 7 days a week.

Otago

We are all volunteers and work to support women to feed their baby in a way that works for them and their family. We help mothers resolve breastfeeding issues, feed for as long as they want to, and stop when they are ready.

In the last year we have seen over 500 mums and babies, along with a few lovely partners and grandparents, and carried out around 1000 consultations. Through our anonymous survey, we know that women appreciate our service and many say they feel they would not have been able to continue breastfeeding without our support.

We've moved!  8 October 2020

Due to our venue losing funding we've had to move a couple of times. We are lucky to be back in South Dunedin, but sadly no longer have a free venue. This means that fundraising is even more critical for us - if we don't have money we literally can't run our drop-in clinic. Currently we are only running our drop-in once a week due to costs and volunteer availability. Your donations make the world of difference to us and to the parents we are then able to support. Thank you so much for your kind donations - we really do appreciate it!

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
