The Life’s Little Treasures Foundation is a charity which is dedicated to providing support, friendship information and assistance to families of children born prematurely. It is currently run by volunteer parents who themselves have had a premature baby and so truly understand the challenges that these babies and their families face. Our services are available in the hospital (neonatal and special care units) and in the community when families come home.
Services like yourself play a vital role for families both in hospital and once babies come home. We would love to work closely with you to let families know that there is help and support out there and to let them know that they are not alone in this journey. Provide you with the any support you may require for your families.
