TinyLife, formerly NIMBA, is Northern Ireland’s only premature and vulnerable baby charity based in Carryduff.
The charity provided a range of support services for families of premature and vulnerable babies, including hospital to home support and a Dad’s support group.
Last year, over 750 families benefitted from their services. Premature babies can be born at 24 weeks and survive, the smallest surviving baby born in Ireland was just 398g.
The charity is solely reliant on its own fundraising efforts to support the services provided.
