Sparkle and shine for your local maternity services
The Birth & Babies Appeal has teamed up with local fundraisers Lucy Field and Nicki Scott to host a night that promises to sparkle and shine raising money for Warwick Hospital’s maternity services.
Local mums, Lucy and Nicki, managed to raise over £10,000 last year for the special care baby unit (SCBU) at Warwick Hospital after they looked after their daughters after they were born. She is now hoping to match her fundraising total with a series of events throughout this year, including a ball.
The Sparkle and Shine Ball will be taking place on Friday 28 September at the beautiful Ettington Chase Hotel with all proceeds going towards SCBU and the Birth & Babies Appeal.
Lucy Field said: “I am delighted that my dream of putting on ball is going to happen, it will be a fantastic opportunity to make our maternity services the best that they can be for future mums and dads. We have already received great support in making it a night to remember for guests”.
The Birth & Babies Appeal will fund enhancements beyond NHS standard to the new birthing unit on-site at Warwick Hospital, which is due to open in summer 2018. Fundraising will offer women an environment that they are able to relax physically and mentally will enable them to focus on the birth process, which will benefit babies and mothers in the long run.
There are opportunities for local businesses to support the evening through sponsorship of tables in return for recognition in marketing materials for the event.
Jayne Blacklay, Director of Development at South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust, said: “The support we have received from the community has been overwhelming with so many people raising funds. This event will be a fantastic occasion to mark the opening of the new midwifery led birthing centre at Warwick Hospital and to support the amazing work of our special care baby unit”.
