Current Campaigns

We are now fundraising to purchase a transport incubator for the Neonatal Unit, which will cost around £36,000. This differs from an ordinary incubator in that it also has in-built ventilator and monitoring devices and the means to attach other pieces of vital equipment if needed. It would be used to transport babies to and from other hospitals and so is an extremely important piece of specialised equipment. If you would like us to put your donation towards this purchase, please let us know.

We recently received pledges for all 20 of the specialist neonatal cots we had been fundraising for, costing around £1,500 each. Our thanks go to many supporters, including The Embassy of Man, the South family, Scott Horney and his colleagues, the family of Miya Churchill, Vicki Welch, Wilfred Davidson's family, Lisa and Danielle Wyatt, BIBA, Tammy Newberry, Ickle Pickles, the Berg family, Henry Perry and to the staff and families of the NNU who undertook the sponsored walk of The Great Glen Way.

Our thanks also to those who have pledged to fund the purchase of 5 Cosy Therm electrical warming mattresses for the cots and one T34 syringe driver. We are truly grateful for your commitment to helping the Neonatal Unit.

We are very grateful for all donations received. All the people who have donated money to enable us to buy specific pieces of equipment have had plaques acknowledging their generous support placed on the equipment.
