Where your money goes
Thanks to our dedicated and generous supporters, we raise between £100,000 to £150,000 each year. We are indebted to the donations we receive from individuals, families, businesses and charitable trusts and we ensure that as much money as possible is directed towards the care of babies and their families while they are on the Neonatal Unit. Whilst the majority of the money we raise is spent on vital pieces of equipment, we also assist in funding specialist staff training and have a welfare fund to help families during their stay on the unit.
