Who cares about toilets? 🚽 3.6 billion people do. Because they have nowhere safe to go. We're currently living in a world where more people have access to mobile phones than clean and safe toilets. Let's change that by supporting #Goal6💧

Parents often tell us that they weren't sure how to interact with their babies at first in the neonatal unit. Tell us about the moments that you shared with your baby on the unit - be it reading stories, singing songs or providing care.

In the NICU, parents are essential and play a crucial role on their babies well-being. Your presence and touch, through kangaroo care and hand hugging, are magical for your baby.

It can be overwhelming to find the information that is relevant to you when you are anticipating or going through a neonatal experience. This is why we developed our Information and Support hub - to help guide you to the information that you need, when you need it.
