We do get quite a few  queries from mums asking if they can come along to meetings as they are not members, so it is good to emphasise that they can, and  quite a few of the queries we get from mums from abroad do ask that question. 
 For example we are looking forward to a Malaysian mum coming along to our group in the autumn, but I had to reassure her that we were  open to mums of all nationalities whether or not they  were members, which made  me wonder what happens  in  her part of the world.  
Some organisations charge for 'courses' 
LLLGB has a reduced rate for  unwaged families too BTW .  the website is www.laleche.org.uk , we run our own email help system which is a appropriate to  mothers from  Britain so it would be good to direct British mothers there  rather than via the international site.  
LLL in Ireland has it's own website
http://www.lalecheleagueireland.com/
 Northern Ireland is  actually part of  LLL Ireland, but we do work together where we overlap

Another site with information on   support schemes called  'Baby Cafes'  [mainly   UK, but there are cafes in  other parts of the world]
http://www.thebabycafe.co.uk/

What a daunting project, I hope you will share the results as it will be of benefit to all of us
