  is a registered charity established in 1985 by parents and staff to offer support to parents who had a baby or babies being cared for on the Neonatal Unit at Kingston Hospital NHS Trust. It is an amazing fact that 10 percent of all babies born require some form of care on a Neonatal Unit. We have cared for 491 babies in the last year. Here are some of the services we provide:
With the help of the local community, raises funds to purchase specialist equipment for the courageous babies on our Unit.
With the help of Kingston WelCare, we have started a mother-and-baby group, specifically for parents who have had a baby on the Unit. This group meets during term time only every Wednesday from 1pm until 4pm.
We currently have two Parental Support Officers, Pauline Woods and Louise Mulcahy, both of whom have had premature babies.
As well as promote awareness of the problems associated with having small pre-term or sick newborn infants on the Unit, we provide parents with information and have a small lending library of books available to them.
