The Tiny Hearts appeal is a charitable fund administered by Barnsley Hospital Charity. The capital appeal aims to raise £1 million to help support the relocation and development of a brand new Neonatal unit.

The new unit will be built around the needs of the babies and their families. State-of-the-art equipment will be provided to enable the Neonatal team to continue their fantastic care and enhance their capabilities.

Premature babies are underdeveloped and have to be given extra help for their tiny bodies to cope with the outside world, and can spend 13-14 weeks on the unit. The care on the unit is focused around allowing the babies to fully develop in order to allow parents to have proper bonding time with their babies in a more private setting.

All money raised for the Tiny Hearts Appeal will be used to directly support the new unit; help equip it and decorate it with a warm welcoming environment which will help ease every day stresses and anxieties associated with hospitals.
