In previous years, staff and supporters from Tameside Primary have climbed epic mountains to raise money for Libby Mae’s Little Angels. This year, as we can’t climb a mountain we are running 500km. As a team throughout the month of June we are aiming to clock up 500km between us, matching the £500k the charity’s BIG Appeal. Please support us in any way you can. 

Libby Mae's Little Angels 'Little Angels BIG Appeal' is in memory of Dr Vish Rasiah who sadly lost his battle to Covid-19. We aim to raise funds to purchase 14 cutting-edge incubators for the region's hospitals. The incubators use ground-breaking technology to regulate body heat, maximise efficiency for clinical staff, and integrate families in their babies' care. Using three heat sources, the incubators help to keep tiny patients at their ideal body temperature at all times, which is vital because a baby's energy is directed towards growth and development, rather than keeping warm. The incubators also feature low sound and light levels to create a womblike atmosphere and have advanced safeguards against infection. The kangaroo mode allows parents to closely interact with their baby too. All this technology helps premature babies to stay healthy, to better bond with their parents, and to ultimately go home sooner.
