About the Little Miracles Trust
The Little Miracles Trust is Aotearoa New Zealand’s national neonatal charity. We’re here to help
Specialised support for parents
experiencing a neonatal journey.
The Little Miracles Trust was originally founded in 1986 in Wellington by two families who had extremely premature babies. Experiencing first-hand the emotional toll of the neonatal journey, they saw a need for specialised support for parents going through similar situations.
Since then we have grown into a registered charity which operates across New Zealand working closely with all 23 neonatal units in order to support the whānau and babies that they care for. Like all not-for-profits we are heavily reliant on the goodwill of volunteers and community support which is in addition to the dedicated, passionate team employed by the Trust on a part-time basis.
About
The Little Miracles Trust
The Little Miracles Trust exists to walk alongside whānau – offering emotional, practical, and financial support from the moment of diagnosis or birth, through the time in neonatal care, the transition home, and beyond.
Our work is funded through the generosity of donors, corporate sponsors, fundraising events, and grants from organisations such as COGS, the Lottery Grants Board, and other charitable foundations across Aotearoa. Every bit of support helps us continue to be there for families when they need it most.
Our registered charity number is CC56619
