Project Linus UK is a voluntary organisation that aims to provide comfort, security and a hug through quilts and blankets to ill, injured or traumatised babies, children and young people up to the age of 18.
The babies are given a blanket which is theirs to keep.
“The Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) are hugely grateful for the donation and we want to say a big thank you to the charity and all the volunteers that took their time to make the beautiful clothing and blankets that will be so appreciated by the mothers and babies who receive them.” said Tricia Breslin, Interim Charge Nurse, Mother and Baby Unit, St John’s Hospital.
St John’s Mother and Baby Unit opened 11 years ago and has been providing care to perinatal ladies from cross regional areas of Scotland ever since. Both mother and baby are able to stay in the unit while the mother is receiving treatment.

The charity began in the USA and came to the UK in March 2000. It is a non-profit organisation and everyone involved with it are volunteers who give their time, skill and resources freely. Project Linus UK has a branch in West Lothian.
