October 2005 - Simpsons Special Care Babies.
This Edinburgh based voluntary run charity supports the Neo Natal Unit (NNU) based in the "Simpsons" Maternity unit at the new Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
The charity was set up in 1985 by a group of parents and friends who had babies in the NNU. They were concerned by the lack of adequate resources and support for modern life saving technology and established the charity to work to give every baby in the special care NNU an equal start in life.
SSCB is dedicated to the care of premature or sick newborn babies, and the support of their parents. It is funded entirely from public support through fund raising and donations.
We were delighted to support this charity as we had two mums whose babies had spent time in the special care unit.

October 2004 - Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society
This organisation works to support bereaved parents and families, and to press for improvements in care during pregnancy and when a baby has died. The local branch at Craiglockhart received our donation.
