Louise’s library has been created in memory of Louise Williams, our much-loved First Touch Charity Coordinator for 12 years. Louise was a key driver behind First Touch’s provision of books on the neonatal unit.

She understood how beneficial it was for parents to read to their babies as a means of empowerment and to develop that all-important bond, as well as to reduce physiological and emotional distress in babies.

Louise’s library gives a book every month to each family on the neonatal unit, and in addition provides more books for reading to babies, books for siblings, and books for mums, dads and carers to read.
