HMF Launches Snowdrop Campaign
The snowdrop flower is the emblem of the HMF. Also known as the milk flower, it signifies hope after the winter, being the first bulb to flower as spring approaches. Snowdrop Donors are the name adopted by bereaved mothers who donate in tribute to their babies. Our charity revolves around their care and support. We are fundraising for their support nationally, partnering with the Memory Milk Gift Initiative, and for the planting of snowdrops in Milk Woods across the country.

Come and see us at the beautiful Hever Castle Christmas Event - 10-11th December!
We’re delighted that Hever Castle have selected us as their chosen charity to support this year at their stunning Christmast event. Our team will be at the event on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th December on the loggia with our beautiful festive gifts including Christmas cards, tree decorations, tote bags and mugs featuring designs created by some very special little people.
The magical Christmas Lights experience starts from 16:00 when you can witness the enchantment of the castle, gardens and lake festooned with fabulous colours, spectacular illuminations, twinkling lights and music, capturing the spirit of Christmas. There’s also a Christmas trail and ‘Festive Forest’, and a fairground in front of the castle with a big wheel, gift shops and delicious seasonal food. Inside the castle are beautiful traditionally decorated rooms, welcoming log fires and twinkling Christmas trees. For an extra special visit, visit Father Christmas at Hever Castle. We hope to see you there!
Research & Science
Unknown facts about human milk
Human milk is a remarkable fluid, changing by the minute, hour, day and season to respond to the needs of the developing baby. Milk adapts to protect babies from infections in their environment, supplies stem cells and immune cells from the mother, and patterns the development of every organ in the body. Yet human milk is full of unknowns.
Our commitment to scientific discovery not only aims to help families understand the magic of milk, but make sure that milk banking processes are continually innovating and improving.
