PARENT REFERRAL

Community groups

Every family’s neonatal journey is different, and there is no right time to seek support. Some parents join our groups shortly after leaving the neonatal unit, while others come later when they feel ready to connect with families who understand their experiences.

Our community groups provide opportunities to build friendships, access specialist support and spend time with other families who have experienced neonatal care.

Whether you are looking for advice, social connection or simply a welcoming space, we hope you will find a group that feels right for you.

Whether your baby came home recently or neonatal care feels like a distant memory, our groups are here whenever you feel ready. To join any of our sessions, please complete a parent registration form first.
For more information about any of our community groups or sessions contact pip@spoons.org.uk
