St Helier Hospital

St Helier Hospital

Our relationship with St.Helier hospital started in 2022 with an Ignition grant for 11 breast pumps and carry bags to enable mums to express their milk at home.

We have a fantastic working relationship with the nursing team and as a result of some fundraising events and challenges undertaken by parents, families and even members of the nursing staff, we have also purchased a reclining chair for kangaroo care cuddles.

We are very excited to be working with the wonderful Neonatal team at St.Helier hospital and would encourage anyone interested in raising funds through us for the Neonatal unit to get in touch and discuss how you can get involved - the feeling of having made a tangible difference is simply incredible and very rewarding!
