A babies chances of survival is dependent on a number of things; having access to up to date medical and nursing care, as well as the love and support of family and friends. Fortunately, scientific advances are developing at a phenomenal rate. Cuddles tries to compliment the units resources by helping provide equipment and is funded entirely from public support through fund raising and donations.

The main purpose of the Cuddles charity is to provide equipment, facilities and support to the unit by complimenting and enhancing those provided by the NHS. Their main mission is :

To provide life saving equipment so the SCBU can provide the best possible care.

To provide supporting equipment, such as the Cuddles Boxes, to help parents with the unexpected transition to having a baby within SCBU.

To provide advice, support and information to families.

This charity is very special to my family, as my cousin Jenna works in SCBU, so would be really proud to be able to support the great work that her and her colleagues do.
