We have made it even easier to donate to our charity, we have added a special list on Amazon. Our current list includes essential items that staff at the unit always need. These items are important things like blankets, muslin cloths and those much-needed snacks for staff.

We will be regularly updating it, so keep it handy! Have a look and get adding to your basket! Visit Amazon

We are pleased to show you our latest project, the breastfeeding room at the unit has had an some of our TLC. Colleagues at the unit have worked closely with us to revamp it and make it feel like a home-from-home look and feel. We know it can be a challenging time and we want all those lovely parents to have what they need to make their life that little bit easier.

I am sure you will agree, it looks inviting and ready to be used!

At their latest meeting, Derby Rotary Club presented our Chair and Trustee members with a cheque for £3000. They heard all about the wonderful work we do for those special babies along with supporting the NHS. Seen here are John Cheadle, Ange Harding, John Beswarick, Kate Repton, Andy Blurton, Tim Wherly and Andrew Plant. The funds were raised from the Santa Sleigh and the sale of Christmas trees

Give the gift of life this Christmas It's not too early to think about Christmas! This year, instead of cards or gifts, why not donate to the special babies in the unit who are the biggest gift.
