Local Support Groups and Charities
There are many voluntary run support groups that operate in partnership with individual units across the South West to provide advice and support to parents and families both in hospital and the community. Many units also have specific groups established that are dedicated to fundraise for that particular hospital. Links to these groups are provided opposite.
