PARENT REFERRAL

Community groups

We offer free community group sessions for parents and babies across Greater Manchester who’ve experienced neonatal care. These sessions provide a welcoming, safe space where you can meet other families who understand what you’ve been through. It’s a chance to connect, share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, and spend time with people who truly get it.

To book any of these sessions, please complete a parent registration form first.
