Give Every Newborn A Chance
Around 1 in 7 babies born in the UK each year are admitted to neonatal units. Your donation helps to give them a fighting chance.
The survival rate of a premature baby was below 50% in 1975. In 2022, the survival rate was above 95%. Your support provides life-saving equipment and enables more neonatal units to deliver the highest standard of care.
The cost of neonatal care per baby per day can be around £2,000. With NHS budgets under extreme pressure, your contribution will make a big difference.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, supports life-saving care for newborns. Let’s make a BIG difference for small babies.
Donate £5
For the price of a meal deal, you can fund a milk cooling bag to help mothers transport milk from home to the neonatal unit. Your contribution will offer comfort and convenience to families in need.
Donate £22
For the cost of an average 4-mile cab ride, you can provide a well-being bundle for parents in the NICU. The bundle includes a water bottle and a pair of Cuski baby comforters, bringing a touch of solace during a difficult time.
Donate £110
Did you know the average family spends at least £110 on chocolate each year? By donating this amount, you and five others can fund a Sound Ear to protect premature babies from unnecessary noise, ensuring a peaceful environment for their recovery.
