Congratulations to Morrisons Anniesland for being awarded Breastfeeding Friendly Scotland accreditation in Glasgow.

You’re probably reading this article on a laptop or mobile device. We use technology routinely across most areas of our lives now. But for many people, technology can be a barrier to the wider community, as well as a welcome lifeline.

Breastfeeding is important to the health of both mother and baby. While many new mums start breastfeeding, some stop within a few weeks or months. This is often because they feel there’s a lack of support, particularly when they want to feed their baby outside their home. 

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) has retained the UNICEF Baby Friendly - Achieving Sustainability (Gold) Award.

Our Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership’s (HSCP) Domestic Abuse Strategy 2023 – 2028 was recently approved at the Integration Joint Board’s (IJB) meeting on 22 March 2023. 

Congratulations to Elderpark Housing Association in Govan. They’ve recently signed up to the Breastfeeding Friendly Scotland Scheme.
