Affordable Warmth Project
If you have to spend a large part of your income on fuel bills it may be because your home has a poor heating system, or it looses a lot of heat because there is not enough insulation. Living in a cold home can havea serious effect on health, especially for children, people with a long term illness or for older people.
The Affordable Warmth Project is run by Barnsley Metroplolitan Borough Council to help local people who can't afford to keep their homes warm.

Antenatal Results and Choices
ARC started in 1988, originally as SATFA, and is the only national charity which provides non-directive support and information to parents throughout the antenatal testing process. Our role is to help parents arrive at the most appropriate decision for them in the context of their family life. It is governed by a board of trustees made up of parent members and professionals, and is supported by a medical advisory body and a team of patrons.

Association of Breastfeeding Mothers
We all know that breastfeeding is "normal", but it seems that our society views breastfeeding initiation as an optional extra. The NHS seems to have abdicated its responsibilities for clinical breastfeeding care to the voluntary agencies and therefore such skills are not viewed as necessary for health professionals. No other area of clinical care gives the option to "opt out" of best practice. Achieving Baby Friendly Initiative status may be optional but it is the only evidence- based framework of benchmarked clinical care standards for breastfeeding care and as such its standards should not be viewed as optional. The breastfeeding rates in Australia and Norway are far better than the UK. If other countries in the West can achieve good breastfeeding rates, why can't we?

BabyMilkAction
Baby Milk Action gives you an insight into the politics of breastfeeding. They highlight breastfeeding issues across the world with particular emphasis on developing countries.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that reversing the decline in breastfeeding could save 1.5 million lives every year, yet baby food companies continue to market artificial foods in ways that undermine breastfeeding. The people responsible have names and addresses - call on them to market products ethically.
