The Neonatal Portrait Project (Slot 1)

We are absolutely over the moon to invite local neonatal families to a truly special session designed just for you.

Every neonatal journey is a story of immense strength, love, and resilience. At Leo’s, we wanted to create a beautiful moment to honor your family’s unique path, and we think we have found the perfect way to do it.

We would love to welcome you to Cloud 9 Play Cafe in Guisborough for a 1hr 30min play session. While your little one explores, the amazingly talented Leela will be there to create a live illustration, either a beautiful painting of you and your little one together, or your little one on their own as a timeless keepsake of how far they’ve come.

Event Details & Availability

To keep the environment peaceful and intimate, we are hosting two 45-minute sessions with just 4 families per slot:

• Session 1: 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM

• Session 2: 11:15 AM – 12:45 PM

Who Can Join Us?

This session is fully funded and open to you if:

• Your baby or child received neonatal care within the last 2 years, OR

• You have accessed support through Leo's within the last 2 years.

A Gentle Note on Health & Cancellations

Because our little ones have had such delicate starts, the safety of the whole group is our top priority. If your little one, you, or anyone in your household has been feeling unwell, we gently ask that you stay home to rest.

If you do need to cancel, please give us 24 hours' notice when possible. Because these slots are fully funded by Leo's, we still pay for every space, giving us notice allows us to wrap our arms around another family and offer the magical experience to them.

First-Time Attendees Only: If you have already attended a Neonatal Portrait Project session, please refrain from booking. We want to give every family a chance to receive a special painting by Leela!

We truly cannot wait to welcome you, see how much your little ones have grown, and celebrate your beautiful journey together.
