A CHARITY which supports families of sick and premature babies is set to be supported by the North East Ladies Day (NELD).

Neoangels, based at the Neonatal Unit at the University Hospital of North Tees in Stockton, offers financial support, emotional support and bereavement support to families of sick and premature babies.

Susan Andrews, chairwoman in NELD, said: "Most of us on the NELD Committee are parents and we can only begin to imagine the amount of support that is needed for parents with premature babies, and how valuable the work that Lottie and her team do to support these families at such a critical and difficult time in their lives."
