We support families experiencing neonatal care in the Greater Manchester area


Spoons support families who experience neonatal care in the Greater Manchester area. Both on the neonatal unit and through our community work .

We provide:

  • Peer support delivered by those with neonatal lived experience
  • Dedicated family support to help family navigate life on the neonatal unit, the transition from neonatal to home and support post discharge from neonatal care
  • Trauma therapy and counselling
  • Community play sessions
  • Community support groups

We work with neonatal unit units to support them to better engage with families and amplify the neonatal parent parent voice. We also work closely with the North West Neonatal Operational Delivery Network.

Building partnerships and collaborating with other charities and organisations that have a similar aim to Spoons is important to us. We believe collaboration makes us all stronger and will help us expand and improve availability of fantastic neonatal family support.

If you are interested in working with Spoons and are interested in neonatal support we would love to hear from you.
