Leo's is a charity which supports the mental health, physical health and social well-being of families who have had a sick or premature baby in the North East of England. Our work spans across five neonatal units and in the community. We are a parent-led charity with extensive first-hand knowledge and experience of neonatal care, neonatal bereavement and paediatric care. Our board of trustees combines neonatal parents with NHS professionals and lay members to ensure we offer well-rounded provisions for families. Due to COVID-19 our families are increasingly isolated and the mental health of our parents / carers and siblings is hitting crisis point, the neonatal children we care for are struggling with their development, our families are in need now more than ever. A centre where families can access counselling, peer support, yoga, sign language, sensory sessions, educational sessions and a place to drop in, has never been more needed. Please help us.
