It paid for a local midwife to be trained in baby massage, and pay for the venue hire for baby massage classes. It created and replenish Emergency Baby Boxes that are kept at Glasgow Airport (Gate 1) and at Kennacraig. These contain emergency supplies such as nappies, baby clothes, maternity toiletries etc for emergency situations when travel is unexpectedly cancelled or delayed.
