We're raising money for Cwtsh Clos, helping to create a home from home environment for families to stay whilst their littles ones receive care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Join us for a sponsored walk, from Principality's Mumbles Branch to Cwtsh Clos, Singleton Hospital.
2nd February, meeting at 9.30am (Mumbles Branch) for a 10am start. The walk will be 2.8 miles and will take just over an hour. The walk is suitable for all ages.

The NICU cares for almost 500 babies a year.
Families come here from all over South Wales, not just Swansea Bay, with many living hours away by car and even longer by public transport.
It’s extremely important that parents spend as much time as possible with their baby during this very stressful time and that’s where the free-to-use houses come in.
In a quiet close just a stone’s throw away from the NICU, the two-bed homes are a welcome retreat for those families who live too far away to travel back and forth.

Simon Hole, manager at Principality’s Swansea branch, said: “We’re delighted to be able to support the refurbishments of Cwtsh Clos.
We hope they will help to raise vital funds for the appeal, which will see the houses become a home from home for the families at such a difficult time.
As a building society, we work hard to make sure that everyone has a place to call home, and although these are temporary, they are providing a vital place for people when they need them most.
We’re proud to be able to give a helping hand in making them homely.”
NICU staff nurse, Kaleigh Thomas, welcomed the fundraising support. She said: “It’s very generous of the Principality Building Society to support our campaign.
The houses are getting a bit tired now and they need to be made a bit more homely.
The money raised will make a tremendous difference to the families who make use of the Cwtsh Clos accommodation."
“A lot of our families are from quite far away and being able to stay here obviously means that they can be with their babies.”
Join us and make a difference!
