Charity Boxing Night 2023, 7 October 2023
Charity Boxing Nights hosts its annual event to help raise vital funds for the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Saint Mary's Hospital.

Story

Charity Boxing Nights was formed in 2015 by event founder Ric Moylan after Ric’s sister Lauren suffered the tragic loss of her baby daughter Soffia Rose. Aged just a few hours old, baby Soffia was transferred to the specialist Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Saint Mary’s Hospital in the hope of a miracle. Sadly, it was not meant to be, and aged just 12 days old, baby Soffia stayed asleep forever.Thankfully for thousands of other babies the outcome is a much happier one, and this is due to the amazing staff and remarkable work done at NICU. To show their appreciation and support, Charity Boxing Nights was created.
