Support Group Events

The Featherweight Club holds a morning tea on the first Wednesday of each month at Mercy Hospital for Women. It provides an opportunity for parents whose babies are currently in the nurseries to meet and chat on an informal basis with parents whose babies who have been through a similar experience with their own children. Children are welcome to attend and this gives the new parents a chance to see that “graduates” of the Special Care Nurseries can eventually grow to be normal, healthy children. The morning provides an opportunity for parents who may be struggling with a baby only recently discharged from hospital to chat with others about the special experience of looking after and feeding such a special baby in the first few months at home.

The Featherweight Club always welcomes new members and is currently seeking active volunteers to assist with building our support group network and our fundraising projects. If you would like to help with either of these activities or attend a morning tea, please contact the Featherweight Club.
