TV and Radio coverage

The Summer Born Campaign has worked hard to communicate the myriad of problems being faced by many children and their parents, and we are very grateful to all the journalists, producers and presenters who have listened to and covered our arguments and stories – but most of all we are grateful to the brave and supportive parents in our group who have felt able to give their time and speak out.
