My son was in Special Care at the JR 35 years ago, and a few months ago my baby grandson Freddy was born 9 weeks early and was in Special Care in Tasmania for many weeks. On both occasions support was given by the amazing charities that support parents at this difficult time….so I’m running for SSNAP to say thank you for all the help I received all those years ago.

In 2025, SSNAP will be celebrating 43 years of supporting parents and their premature sick babies at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford - providing both emotional and practical support, 365 days a year, being a life-line at a time when parents need us most.

We fund essential medical life-saving equipment, research, and support the amazing NHS staff on the neonatal unit with training and study days, to enable them to continue to provide the very best of care.
