Whether you have spent a Christmas on the NNU, or if you've been fortunate enough to spend your baby's first Christmas at home, we are asking you to support our 2024 Christmas Appeal to make Christmas magical on the NNU this year.

We provide a range of treats and experiences to give families facing Christmas in hospital with a sick baby, the happiest experience possible and to spread a bit of cheer to the wonderful staff who give up their own family Christmas to look after the babies and their families on Christmas Day.

This year we are providing the following items. A donation of any size will help us so much:

£5 per family will fund a special visit from Santa who brings Christmas books for the babies and their siblings and a photo for each family

£10 will fund Christmas lunch for a parent in the hospital restaurant

£20 per baby will provide a special Christmas stocking to hang on each incubator

£30 will buy supplies for staff to "help" the babies make a keepsake Christmas card for their family

£100 will fund festive snacks for the Family Rooms on Christmas Day

£150 fund Christmas snacks and treats for the staff on the day shift

£150 will fund Christmas snacks and treats for the staff on the night shift

We know what an expensive time of year this is but any support you can give us will help to put smiles on 40 families' faces on Christmas Day!
