Sounds interesting, but I'm in the North.

CSWS.....the website says "During peak visiting times, breastfeeding counsellors and peer support workers will be available to raise awareness and point people to local breastfeeding support services" so I suppose they want people to talk to the viewing public. not sure about the BFing mothers thogh. Also for help, or a public display?
