A Nottinghamshire mum who had two premature babies - one of whom was hospitalised with meningitis - is now supporting neonatal wards across the East Midlands after learning from her own experiences. Sarah Massey, 38, of Balderton, decided to find a way to help those in neonatal wards after she spent a lot of time in hospital with her two children who were born early.
She creates and donates special bags - named after her son Ciarán - to help parents and their newborn. The bags include a variety of important items, including toiletries, blankets and teddies.
Sarah said: "I had two premature babies. I had Molly, who is 10 now, at 28 weeks and she spent a lot of time at the neonatal unit in Queen's Medical Centre. For her first sort of three years she was in and out all the time in different units and children's wards.
