Story

With the weather getting warmer and a sudden increase in our requests for them we thought we would share why dry suits are so important?

Covid-19 has had huge repercussions over the past year for all sectors and not the least, the charity sector.

Ours, like many charities, has taken a huge hit on our funds and fundraising efforts but this hasnt meant we have had any less applications, it just means with lower funds we wont be able to help as many families who need us now more than ever.

So we are making a plea to you, our wonderful followers.

If you donated even just £1 it would make such a huge difference.

A child could enjoy a bubble bath or even their very first swim because of you!

If youd like to help or want to get involved please contact one of our team at admin@tibf.co.uk

Imagine being poorly and because youre so poorly you have to have lines & tubes and because of that you cant get wet.

You cant have a bath, you cant go swimming, you cant go in a paddling pool when its hot

Dry suits enable little heroes to be able to have a bath, to be able to splash in a paddling pool by keeping their central venous lines safe & dry.

Dry suits arent cheap, prices are on average around £250 per suit and increases in cost depending on the size of the child this is because they are completely custom made.

Imagine the difference a dry suit can make to a childs life & their families life.

We need you now more than ever to ensure we can keep bringing these children & their families just a little bit of relief & respite from the battles they are enduring daily.
