Our Neonatal Fund - Giving our smallest patients the best start in life
Each year, over 600 newborn infants need dedicated care in the Neonatal Ward at our hospitals.
Giving newborns the best start in life
The first moments of a baby’s life are precious and your support can make all the difference. Every donation you choose to give helps to create a warm, safe and supportive environment for our tiniest patients and their families.
Our Neonatal Fund helps to provide state-of-the-art equipment to ensure newborns receive the highest level of care when they need it most. From high-tech incubators and brainwave monitors, cosytherm hot cots and neonatal mattresses, parent sleep areas and specialist staff training - every contribution helps create a nurturing environment for babies and their families.
Your generosity also funds specialist services, including breastfeeding advisors, patient support groups and memory-making services, ensuring both practical and emotional support.
