Unfortunately a few of friends have newborns that needed emergency care so this charity event is close to my heart.

The support that Saint Mary’s Hospital Charity provides helps to make a difficult time easier for patients at our hospital at what can be a very emotional and daunting time.

The Charity supports projects which benefit our patients, often very tiny babies, particularly when they have long or frequent stays in hospital.

We do this by focussing our fundraising efforts on three key areas – treatment, research and care. This can include the purchase of cutting-edge equipment, funding pioneering medical research and creating a patient-friendly environment allowing our patients of all ages, and their families, to feel welcome and at ease during their time in hospital.
