Red Nose’s Treasured Babies Program is run by dedicated group of hardworking volunteers, who aim to support bereaved parents with gifts of handmade clothing, Angel boxes.
The Treasured Babies Program relies on the generous support of volunteers, organisations and donations of material.
The Treasured Babies items are provided free-of-charge to hospitals and funeral homes for bereaved families and their babies.
Below is what we currently need. If you can assist in any way, please contact:
