A group of us have decided to embark on the huge challenge to walk a 3 Yorkshire Peaks within 12 hours carrying dolls in baby carriers to raise money for this amazing unit at BRI.

Helping families to be close to their babies while in hospital.Parents often have to travel long distances each day, sometimes for weeks or months at a time, just to visit their baby in hospital. Many families stay in hotel rooms or sleep on a chair at their child's bedside. This leads to exhaustion and increasing levels of anxiety and stress. One of the aims of the Big Appeal is to extend the current family accommodation to ensure more parents can be near their babies. We want to make sure parents have comfortable places to stay overnight while they are close to their child. With a place to rest away from the ward, parents are better equipped to support their child.How your donation can helpOur Neonatal Unit provides intensive treatment for pre-term and poorly babies. This is a specialist regional centre, caring for more than 500 of our tiniest patients each year. Your donations will help make this extension become a reality.
