Our Neonatal Parent Support Groups provide a welcoming space away from the hospital for families who have been through the neonatal unit. For many, mainstream baby groups can feel overwhelming, so this group offers a safe place to connect with others who understand their journey.

The sessions have grown into a hub of practical support, with physiotherapists, dietitians, and the Maternity Voices Partnership attending alongside parents and babies. This allows the team to monitor development, make referrals, and offer guidance; all in a relaxed, friendly environment.

Families have shared wonderful feedback, with many forming lasting friendships that continue outside the sessions. The group also helps our Neonatal Outreach Team save time and reach more babies without multiple home visits.

This vital service is made possible thanks to the generous support of Olive’s Appeal, which funds the group. We are incredibly grateful for all our supporters. If you would like to help us continue this important work, please consider making a monthly donation to Olive’s Appeal. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference to families and their babies - thank you!
