SSNAP supported Hannah and Jonny during their twins stay in the John Radcliffe Hospital after being born at 34 weeks and weighing in at a little over 3lbs.

During the twins stay in HDU, the charity provided emotional support as well as much needed snacks for the long days sat next to incubators. They also provide thoughtful gifts and memory boxes which enable parents to remember and reflect on their journey while little ones get a keepsake of their own.

We want to raise money for this amazing charity that not only helps parents during challenging and emotional times but also supports the incredible staff who put everything they have into looking after unwell newborns.

SSNAP support sick newborn, their parents and those that care for them; by providing emotional, medical, financial and informational support.
