Celtic star Kris Commons and girlfriend Lisa Hague have gifted a Cuddle Cot to help bereaved families.

 

The pair are ambassadors for SiMBA and founders of the Lola Commons Fund for SiMBA, set up by Lisa following the stillbirth of her first baby Lola Grace Commons in 2008.

So far the fund has raised more than £100,000 to help support bereaved families across Scotland and throughout the UK.

The Cuddle Cot or Cold Cot as it is was formerly known is essentially a cool mattress specially designed to slow down the deterioration of the baby; allowing parents to spend more time with their little one before they have to say goodbye.

Lisa and Kris both know how much this gift can mean to families.

Lisa said: "The gift of time is priceless; we didn't have a Cuddle Cot when we lost Lola.

"You cannot take your baby home but you can cherish the short time you have together and create memories to last a lifetime.

"This is a very special day for both of us; it's the first time that we have presented equipment bought from the Lola Commons Fund for SiMBA."
