Every tiny baby deserves comfort, care, and connection 💜

In 2025, Emily’s Star provided 1,338 Mini Packs to families in 170 neonatal units across the UK. Each pack is designed to support parents during one of the most difficult and emotional times of their lives.

Each Mini Pack includes:

👶 A vest & baby-grow

🧶 A hand-knitted cardigan, hat & blanket

💞 Bonding squares to help parents feel close, even when they can’t always hold their baby

📝 A NICU journal, notepad & pen

📸 Premature baby milestone cards

💌 An Emily’s Star information leaflet

Every pack costs around £14 to provide and post.

This year we are aiming to send 1,500 packs to neonatal units across the UK, but this will cost the charity around £21,000 — and rising postage costs mean we need to find almost £400 extra this year alone.

If you’re able to help, even a small donation can make a huge difference to a family with a baby in neonatal care.

💜 £14 provides one Mini Pack

💜 £28 provides two packs

💜 £70 supports five families
