Appeals
Cwtsh Clos
We have officially raised £160,000 to refurbish five homes away from home for families with sick and tiny babies in Singleton Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)!
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.
Musician and broadcaster Mal Pope has kindly backed our campaign in memory of his grandson Gulliver, who was cared for in the NICU.

What’s next?
We are now turning our focus toward completing the refurbishments and preparing the houses to welcome families in need.
The latest refurbishments will be shared on social media, so please follow us on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn for regular updates.
Note: While the fundraising goal has been reached, if you’d like to continue supporting NICU families (for example via maintenance, running costs, or future expansions), we’d be deeply grateful.
