Spending a special occasion in hospital is really difficult for families. One of the ways we support families in a Neonatal Unit is by providing a special gift to mark the occasion. On Mother’s Day we were delighted to provide more than 300 gifts to hospitals all over Western Australia.
July Coffee Morning
Find your tribe. Our coffee mornings are a great way to connect with others in the community walking a similar path, or who've travelled that path already. Discussing all things pregnancy, birth and beyond. Our July coffee morning will take place at Zamia Cafe, Kings Park on Monday July 26 from 10am. Crafty Creators are very welcome to bring along any items to drop off. Everyone is welcome 💜
Morning tea with Kalparrin
For those who are currently in the Perth Children’s Hospital Neonatal Unit, or who happen to be visiting outpatients on World Prematurity Day, 17 November, we have organised morning tea with our friends at Kalparrin. Please feel to pop in for a bit of down time, a cuppa and some cake.
