Story

Whoever saves the life of a human being, it shall be as if he had saved the whole of humankind (Quran, 5:32)

Project Objective:

Drop of Compassion have pledged to help fund a dedicated, single-site, state of the art childrens hospital to care for the children of Leicester and the East Midlands.

#DoThemProud

First in the East Midlands

Childrens services in Leicester hospitals are amongst the busiest in the country yet the East Midlands is the only region in England without a dedicated, single-site childrens hospital.

They are our future

The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Safeguarding their health and well-being should be of paramount importance.

Be part of cementing a Legacy

Be a part of cementing a legacy to benefit future generations through the development of a dedicated state of the art childrens hospital to serve the East Midlands.

We need your support to progress to the initial phase of the project.

Our target of £250,000 (by end of July 2020) will help achieve:

8-bed PICU cubicle ward

8-Bed PICU (Paediatric Intensive Care Unit) cubicle ward in the PICU ward of the LRI (Leicester Royal Infirmary), Kensington Building, where sick and poorly children can be offered the very best of care.

2 x Isolation HDU Rooms

2 x Isolation HDU (High Dependency Unit) Rooms on the cardiac ward of the LRI (Leicester Royal Infirmary), Kensington Building.

Local treatment

Removing the need for children to be transferred to specialist units around the country.

SAFEGUARD OUR LOCAL CHILDREN, SAFEGUARD OUR FUTURE!

100% of funds raised will be utilised for the development of the HDU ward.
