Whittington Babies

Charity supporting families of babies who spend time in the NICU @ Whittington. Run by volunteers. http://www.justgiving.com/whittingtonbabies

The main focus of Whittington Babies is to provide networking and support facility for parents via the Parent Support Group. This is made up of volunteers from the Charity who provide a family support network to parents with babies in the NICU. Many families find this support, from people who have experienced first hand life on the NICU, very helpful at what can be a difficult time for themselves and their families. Find out how you can fund raise for Whittington Babies on our Just Giving page.
