UKAMB
Welcome to UKAMB
Donated breastmilk from the country’s network of milk banks helps to save the lives of premature and sick babies.
UKAMB is a registered charity that supports human milk banking in the UK and was set up in 1997. Our motto is ‘Every Drop Counts’ and we believe that the provision of safe and screened donor breastmilk makes an important contribution to the care of the premature and sick infants who receive it. Our goal is to ensure access to donor milk to every child who would benefit from its use.
