Tender: Breastfeeding Peer Support Service – Islington Borough (Increase Exclusive Breastfeeding at 6-8 Weeks)

About

The Authority is seeking a provider to deliver a borough-wide, community-based Breastfeeding Peer Support Service in Islington that offers both in-person and virtual support to families with the primary aim of increasing the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding at 6–8 weeks after birth and beyond. The service must use local volunteer and paid peer supporters to provide one-to-one support, group sessions, maternity ward visits and a phone line, and will be expected to refer and signpost to local services and work within the early years system in Islington. The service should align with ambitions in the Islington Together 2030 plan, including Child Friendly Islington, Greener Healthier Islington, Empowering People and Community Wealth Building, and will be delivered by a single provider covering the whole borough; the Authority may receive additional, non-guaranteed grant funding during the contract term to support related activities.
