Pipsqueak's has been set up in memory of a special little girl called Pippa.

The aim of our organisation is to provide help and support to parents on neonatal units across Yorkshire. All money raised through Pipsqueak's goes directly to providing parents of sick and tiny babies much needed help for their own well-being, through Pipsqueak's carefully created NICU Care Packages. Each box costs around £30 to produce, and they contain lots of items for parents to get them through the neonatal journey. For more information about the Care Packages, please visit their website: www.pipsqueakscharity.com

During Pippa's life, she spent time on three separate NICUs in Yorkshire (Sheffield's Jessop Wing, St James Hospital Leeds, and Leeds General Infirmary). With budgets being so tight, parents can sometimes have to fend for themselves. Parents spend days, weeks and sometimes months on end next to their babies, sometimes without anything else than what they're wearing.

Playing For Pippa is an event put together by Pippa's dad, Ian, and friend Simon. DJs from around the world will be performing on Twitch & Facebook – all helping raise as much money as possible to support parents of sick and tiny babies. With DJ superstars Technikal, Amber D, and Andy Farley joining in the line up, it really makes for a fantastic event. We're so pleased to have such huge DJs on the line up!

The event kicks off at 3pm on August 28th, and performances will be broadcasting live all weekend until 30th August via the Digital Assault Facebook Page and Twitch page. (www.facebook.com/digitalassaultmusic - www.twitch.tv/digitalassaultmusic)

August is a significant month for Pippa's family - her birthday is on August 15th. The family had plans for a local family fun day to raise funds, but due to COVID-19 those plans were quickly scrapped. This is Pipsqueak's summer fundraiser. Please help out by donating whatever you can.

Thank you.
