Stockport NHS Charity’s neonatal incubator appeal has received another boost from the local nursing consultancy Ealoor.
Ealoor ran a Harmony Night event at Wythenshawe Forum celebrating their 25th anniversary and honouring international nurses, which also raised money for our incubator appeal. They raised over £1,760 on the evening filled with musical entertainment.
Stockport NHS Charity Manager Kate Leadbeater said; ‘We were extremely honoured to be chosen by Ealoor Consultancy as the beneficiary of this special celebratory event. We send heartfelt thanks for this wonderful kind donation towards our incubator. This amazing lifesaving machine will helps baby’s breath and keep them warm.`
The donation is going towards a new incubator which will help newborn babies needing extra support have the best possible environment for their start in life.
The Drager Babyleo TN500 is a state-of-the-art incubator, also known as a resuscitaire, which will help to enhance care for poorly and premature babies. It is smaller than standard incubators so it can be used as a travel incubator, giving easier access for both parents and midwifery team should a baby need transporting to a special unit.
Stockport NHS Charity is now appealing for volunteers to run their own fundraising events of all kinds to support the cause.
They are appealing for caring individuals that have secured a place in a run or challenge, and businesses, community groups and schools that would like to have a ‘Caring Cuppa Coffee Morning’ or get involved in some active fun fundraising to help support tiny lives.
Kate Leadbeater said ; “Please share in the care and help us continue providing lifesaving support to our premature and critically ill babies by supporting today. If your business, club, school would like to get involved in some fun fundraising to support tiny lives, we would love to hear from you.
We would also love to hear from families whose babies we have cared for on the Neonatal Unit at Stepping Hill Hospital.”
