Language Interpretation
Thanks to our Lottery funding, we now offer the Language Line interpretation service at our drop-in sessions.
This enables interpretation in over 200 languages, via telephone. BSL (sign language) interpretation via mobile phone or tablet is also available. If the language you need is not on this list, it may still be available - in this case, it would be helpful if you could This email address is being protected from spambots.

Unfortunately, our Jericho venue doesn't have mobile phone reception. We can still access telephone interpretation there via landline (thanks to the support of the Health Visiting team) but we won't be able to offer BSL interpretation at that venue.
We hope that Language Line will enable more families to find breastfeeding help and a supportive community at OBS
We have BIG NEWS to share!
OBS has been given a major award from the The National Lottery Community Fund.
The 5-year grant will secure funding for our new drop-in sessions in Barton and Didcot and help us launch a brand-new drop-in outside of Oxford from April next year. We will use the fund to widen access to our support, whoever you are and however you are feeding your baby. Thanks to Lottery players, we’ll be able to support even more families, but we also need to keep fundraising hard for our other four Oxford drop-in sessions and all our other work.
If, like the Lottery, you believe in OBS, please consider making even a small monthly donation.
