Tunbridge Wells Hospital

We developed a relationship with Pembury in the very first years of the charity being established and purchased them some Chairs for Kangaroo care cuddles. However, due to staff changes and various factors our involvement with them seemed to pause until 2022 when a new member of our team (a prem Mum), took on a fundraising challenge for them which helped us re-ignite our relationship and gain us presence on the unit once again. 

Current Appeal:

Twin Cot -  The clinical team have requested a Twin Cot for the unit for those babies born as a duo. The benefits of these cots are significant in that they help the babies to soothe each other as they would have in the womb, develop together and continue to build their sibling bond. 

For parents it is a lovely addition to the neonatal unit as it reassures them to see their twins together - especially in the times when they cannot be present.

The progress of the Appeal is shown below.

Please help us achieve our target by donating today. 

Number of Cots: 18

Babies treated per annum: Up to 550

Level 2 Unit: Deliveries usually at 28 weeks gestation and above considered to be medium risk
