Story
Emily's Star was set up in memory of Emily Elizabeth, Emily was born weighing 4lb 5oz, the clothes which were brought before she was born were all too big so new smaller clothes were needed.
As the charity was formed we knew we wanted to help those parents who find themselves in a similar situation.
We created Emily's Gift Neonatal Boxes which contain items for both mum & baby.
Each box contains the following:
For Baby
Baby Shampoo - (travel sized)
Baby Oil - (travel sized)

A small Packet of Wipes

Shower Gel - (travel sized)
FlannelDeodorant - (travel sized)
Toothpaste - (travel sized)

Each of the boxes cost us £32 to create, we do not charge the hospitals or parents for these, we donate each one.
Since 2012 we have donated more than 3,300 boxes.
