Thank you for taking the time to visit the Little Lives' JustGiving page.

 

Milton Keynes Hospital cares for more than 350 premature, small or ill babies each year through our Neonatal Unit. Vital life-saving equipment and a special environment are needed to care for these babies - some of whom are born as early as 24 weeks old (16 weeks early) and weighing as little as 500 grams. But with demand for our services continuing to grow, Milton Keynes Hospital launched the Little Lives Appeal back in 2007.   

 

Originally, Little Lives aimed to raise £250,000 to fund a full refurbishment of the hospital's Neonatal Unit and purchase additional high-dependency cots (to deliver intensive and special care). In January 2012 we were fortunate enough to meet our target as well as complete the redevelopment. This could not have been achieved without the help and support of all the people, schools and companies in Milton Keynes - thank you.

 

However, as NHS funds can only go so far, there is so much more we need to give the best care possible to given to our youngest patients. That's why in 2012, Little Lives continues to fundraise for the Neonatal Unit, raising money for vital high-tech equipment. For instance, we reqiure two ventilators costing £56,000. We are relying on the generosity of the community to help us fund this state of the art equipment - so please, dig deep and help us save even more Little Lives.

 

For any questions about the Appeal, please contact the hospital's Fundraising Manager on 01908 826690 or email fundraising@mkhospital.nhs.uk.
