Since 1967 the maternity unit at Good Hope Hospital has delivered generations of Sutton Coldfield babies, and in 2019 2,846 little bundles of joy arrived into the world at the hospital.Now, Good Hope Hospital Charity is raising £1 million to open a Midwifery Led Unit that will provide mums-to-be with a new option in how they give birth. 

The Midwifery Led Unit, or MLU for short, will be a beautiful and private space, offering mums a ‘home from home’ feeling in the safe environment of Good Hope Hospital. 

Good Hope Hospital Charity has teamed up with the Sutton Observer to launch a new fundraising campaign called #BabiesofGoodHope to celebrate the role that our local hospital has played in delivering generations of Sutton Coldfield residents, and to help raise money to make the Midwifery Led Unit a reality.

If you were born at Good Hope Hospital then we’re asking you to share with us a photograph of you as a baby and a photo of you now, before then making a donation at babiesofgoodhope.org

Laura Power, Fundraising Manager at Good Hope Hospital Charity, said: “Good Hope Hospital has a special place in many of our hearts, each year thousands of babies are born at the hospital and now we want to provide Sutton Coldfield mums with a beautiful new facility to give birth in."

We’re calling on all of the #BabiesofGoodHope to help us to bring this new unit to the hospital, and together we can celebrate the historic legacy of our hospital and fund a new facility that will help to deliver the next generation of babies.
