This week has been really positive for us, especially with the media.

On Wednesday we were visited by Made in Leeds TV. 

They spoke with Sam and shot a short film for their 'On the Aire' shows which go out at 6pm and 9pm each week.

Sam said she was nervous but the people made her feel a little more comfortable.

We were told that our story would be going out on Thursday evening, so we all sat and watched or recorded to watch later.

The story they focused on for this interview was the work that we are currently doing to raise funds to provide the LGI with a cuddle cot. 

Sam didn't need to have been worried as she came across really well on the screen.

She was able to get over how difficult it is for families going through the loss of a baby and how the topic of baby death is still one that people find uncomfortable and difficult to talk about.

It was very good to see the next day that our website had had 505 views following the screening.

If we go on to help any of these people or they go on to support our campaigns then the anxiety was worth it.

Made in Leeds have also said that they are interested in coming along to our Family Fun Day on the 1st August to film the event to show the fund raising that we do and to give us more publicity.

We have also had contact from the Yorkshire Evening Post, who had seen our current cuddle cot campaign and wanted to do an interview to go into their paper next week.

Luckily with it being a paper the interview could be done over the phone.

They wanted more information about the cuddle cots and how much we were aiming to raise. They also asked for an update on how the charity is currently doing.

The article will be in the Evening Post one evening this week so please keep your eyes peeled.

Finally we were contacted by South Leeds Life newspaper about putting a piece in their July edition. They are due to come out on Thursday 11th June to get our story.

All this media interest really excites us as it gives us a way of reaching a much broader audience.

We know that many people saw the tv show as our social media sites, especially Twitter, had lots of people commenting on the show. 

It feels like a really positive time for us all and I really hope that the interest in us and support we get keeps rising.
