WLCT and Wigan Council have both received awards recognising their commitment to supporting mothers who choose to breastfeed.

The Breastfeeding Friendly Business Award recognises that both organisations have policies in place to support mothers to breastfeed their babies on their premises or while using their services.

It also recognises that both organisations have policies to support their own staff to continue breastfeeding on return from maternity leave.
