First Touch

First Touch is the neonatal charity for St George’s Hospital, funding vital medical equipment, specialist nurse training and a welfare scheme for families on the neonatal unit (NNU).

The charity have recruited ‘ambassadors’ in Tooting, Balham, Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Raynes Park and Colliers Wood to raise the profile of the charity, and will be looking to recruit more in the coming months.

First Touch also gained national attention in May when two of its patrons, actress Martine McCutcheon and her fiancé Jack McManus, won £30,000 for the charity as part of their appearance on ITV game show All Star Family Fortunes.
