The Trust works to provide and coordinate support to the whānau of premature and sick full-term babies, as they make their journeys through neonatal intensive care, the transition home, and onwards.
This is done in many ways: the provision of Care Packs on entry to a unit; morning teas to bring whānau and experts together; equipment for families to use in the units; post-discharge playgroups and coffee mornings.
We currently have team members in Auckland, Middlemore, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin with a constant drive to expand into all areas. Most of our team members have first-hand experience of time in a NICU or SCBU. So we know exactly what it’s like – and just how to help.
