A moment 20 years in the making! ✨

We are beyond proud to share that our very own Elaine Edwards has been awarded an MBE for her incredible services to breastfeeding support.

Elaine started FAB with a simple goal: to make sure no mother felt as alone as she did during those early days of parenthood. Since 2004, she has turned that vision into a national charity that provides 24/7 support to families across the UK.

In Elaine’s words: "This has happened because of all of us." This award is a tribute to every volunteer, peer supporter, and mother who has been part of the FAB journey.
