Held Close: Neonatal Appeal
Help keep babies and families Held Close. Your donation can fund vital support, specialist equipment and services that bring comfort, connection and precious moments to families across Glasgow’s three neonatal units.
The charity-funded support has been invaluable. Utterly vital. It's given us those special moments of joy that you really need when you're going through so much."
Stephanie, Gracie's Mum
Help keep babies and families close, through every moment
Across Glasgow’s three neonatal units (RHC, PRM, RAH), specialist NHS teams provide exceptional medical care for babies who need it.
But neonatal care is about more than medicine.
It’s about helping a baby know the familiar scent of their parent when they can’t be held. Helping a mum express milk for her tiny baby. Giving parents a precious photo when they can’t be by the cot. Creating hand and footprints a family can treasure forever, or giving families somewhere to stay when home is too far away.
That’s where your donation can make a difference.
Through Held Close, you can help fund the extra support, equipment and moments of connection that mean so much to families throughout their neonatal journey.
