“We were fortunate enough to meet the Spoons volunteers at Oldham and North Manchester. My husband and I couldn’t be more grateful. They’re such a friendly, welcoming face. Having a baby in the NICU is such a stressful, frightening time. It’s not an experience you expect to go through.” [Lee, Shanice and Saskia’s Story].
