What our donation will help fund
The £2,000 grant from Benefact will directly fund our vital Family Support Services, which provide practical and emotional support to families with babies born too soon, too small, or too sick.
This funding will contribute to our hospital-to-home support, offering specialist guidance from Family Support Officers who assist parents in navigating life after NICU. It will also help fund breast pump loan services, ensuring premature babies receive vital nutrition when they are too small to breastfeed. Additionally, the grant will support sensory and developmental classes that aid a baby’s early progress and bonding with their parents.
Each year, around 1800-2000 babies are born prematurely in Northern Ireland, and many families feel isolated and overwhelmed. This donation will ensure they receive expert care, reassurance, and access to essential resources at one of the most difficult times in their lives.
