Grief Awareness week is this week and serves as an important reminder to be kind to ourselves and others experiencing loss and grief

This week is Grief Awareness Week, and a chance to recognise how any type of loss can affect our wellbeing.

There’s no right or wrong way to feel — grief affects everyone differently.

If you're finding things difficult, there’s support that can help.

Thursday is World Kindness Day.

From fact-checking and supporting vulnerable communities to spreading messages of tolerance, there are many ways we can counter hate speech through the power of kindness.

Together, we can say no to hate and create safe, inclusive spaces that uphold human rights, diversity and respect for all.

Kindness is our shared responsibility.

We are designing a new logo for our service and would like the input of the children and young people that we work with. We will be sending out emails about it shortly, but please have a look at this poster if you'd like to be involved. We're looking for words and pictures about your experiences and would love to know what you think. You might even get them incorporated into our logo!

National Play in Healthcare Week 2025 🎈
This week we join in celebrating 50 years of Play — recognising the vital role that the play team have in supporting the children and young people in our care 🎉

We recognise that for babies, children and young people, play in healthcare can:

🌟 Reduce anxiety during treatments
🌟 Help children understand their care and diagnosis
🌟 Support recovery and emotional wellbeing
🌟 Support mental health
🌟 Provide a safe space
🌟 Provide normality in an unfamiliar environment

We have lots of exciting activities going on to help celebrate the event throughout the week. We will also be sharing some of the work we have done so far in 2025!

In neonatal care, friendship can feel a little different... A knowing glance from another parent, a kind word from a nurse, or a message that arrives just when you need it most.

Tag someone whose friendship has helped you through your NICU journey or drop a thank you below to someone who’s been there when it counted. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑
