This is awesome, great to see a DAPA dads meet up going on. @SNUGNeonatal pioneering something special with lots more to come I’m sure.

This weekend is our SNUG impact weekend, filled with informative talks, peer connecting and family fun this afternoon. I’m looking forward to meeting the entire @SNUGNeonatal family in person, many I’ve not met at all due to the pandemic. #SNUGimpact #charity #valued

It’s demanding and rewarding being chairperson of a charity, especially one that is growing at great speed like @SNUGNeonatal … but it makes it all worth it when you get a little thank you note to recognise your work especially on #VolunteersWeek .

Today is #WorldCerebralPalsyDay! At SNUG we are celebrating all those amazing CP warriors out there, and their amazing support team Cerebral Palsy is the most common motor disability diagnosed in children and almost half of all children who are diagnosed with CP were born prem.

It's so true, it's a tight rope that parents walk! and support for families is lacking, the systematic review brings together parent experiences and may be able to help you to evidence a need for this intervention #NICUMHAW @HarrietAHunt @ConnectExeter
