We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Megan and James, along with little sister Ada and grandmother Lisa, for their incredibly generous donation of a new Cuddle Cot to our bereavement room, given in loving memory of their son, baby Archie 💙🪽

👣 Cuddle Cots play such an important role in supporting families during the most heartbreaking of times, allowing precious time to be spent together and memories to be made gently and with care. They can be used both in the hospital and at home, if families choose to take their baby home. This thoughtful gift will make a lasting difference to families in the future.

💙 Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and for choosing to honour Archie in a way that will help support others.
