'A little bit of help': Baby loss comfort bags delivered to Noble's Hospital

Head of midwifery says packages will have a big impact

Thirty baby loss comfort bags have been donated to Noble's Hospital from a UK based charity this week.

CRADLE, which has partnered with over 80 hospitals, delivered the donation which include a support letter, links to the charity's services and toiletries.

Former BBC North West weather presenter, and charity ambassador, Kay Crewdson says the support does not stop with the bags:
