Tiny and Mighty Café brings comfort to NICU families
Parents, staff, and Northbridge Rotary Club members stand with the new sign
The Royal North Shore Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit launched the Tiny and Mighty Café for parents of babies who need specialised care. It’s a tiny gesture that goes a long way to comfort families with sick newborns.
In collaboration with Northbridge Rotary, the café now provides free breakfast items, drinks, and snacks to NICU families. The name of the café, Tiny and Mighty Café, was chosen through a voting system where NICU parents selected their favourite name. RNSH NICU Nurse Manager Claire Blackburn, who led the initiative, was proud of the response.
“An overwhelming number voted for the Tiny and Mighty Café,” said Claire. A NICU graduate mum also designed the café’s logo, adding a personal and meaningful touch. To ensure continued support, Northbridge Rotary vowed to deliver snacks to parents on a fortnightly basis and has secured donations from local businesses.
Peter Russell, Immediate Past President of the Northbridge Rotary Club said that the community had been eager to support the families at RNSH. “Being at the NICU can be one of the hardest times of parents’ lives. It’s good we can do a small part to help them,” he said.
