Tiny Tatty Teddy, the nursery sub brand of Me to You is partnering with neonatal charity Ickle Pickles to bring support to premature and sick babies.
The Ickle Pickles Children’s Charity aims to give every new baby a chance by funding life-saving equipment such as ventilators and incubators for neonatal units around the country. Tiny Tatty Teddy is partnering with Ickle Pickles to help raise awareness of the vital work the charity does.
The partnership will involve joint marketing campaigns spanning across social media starting with a campaign around World Prematurity Day on November 17. Both organisations will share positive stories across social media channels of children born prematurely in the run-up to the day, with 10% of each Tiny Tatty Teddy product purchased through metoyou.com donated to the charity.
