Story
Close family friends of mine were supported in Buscot when their twins were born 8 weeks premature (George & Reggie). While visiting the boys in the Buscot ward I watched the nurses dedication to giving each baby the support they needed while supporting the families. Unfortunately, some babies are not fortunate to graduate from Buscot Ward. My aim is to raise as much money as possible for this amazing charity to give more babies a chance to go home to their loving families. Without the previous fundraisers there may not have been enough support and equipment to support Reggie & George.
Babies in Buscot Support (BIBS) raise funds to give sick and premature newborns at the RBH the best possible start in life. Our charity is run by parents that have had a baby spend time on Buscot Ward. We have been there too. That is why we care so deeply, and want to make the experience for all babies admitted to Buscot Ward and their families the best it can possibly be.Our work focuses in four main areas of activity, which we call keeping Buscot families "SAFE":Support providing families with independent emotional support while their baby is on Buscot, and beyond.Awareness - we help inform parents about what to expect from a stay on Buscot by providing written information and we raise awareness of issues related to prematurity or sickness at birth.Facilities - we refurbish facilities and accommodation on the ward.Equipment - We fund state of the art equipment for the ward including incubators, cardiac monitors, ventilators, phototherapy units and much more.
