🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ 24-Hour Charity Run – June 27th at Midnight! 🕛

We’re lacing up and hitting the ground running — non-stop for 24 hours — to raise money for an incredibly important cause: The Parent and Baby Unit at St George’s Hospital, Stafford.

This specialist eight-bed unit supports mothers and their babies (up to 12 months old) who are struggling with serious mental health challenges related to pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood. It’s also able to care for pregnant women from 32 weeks onwards.

💛 Why it matters:

• Up to 80% of women experience the “baby blues” shortly after birth.

• Around 10–15% develop postnatal depression, with symptoms like sadness, fatigue, poor sleep, and feelings of guilt.

• A small but significant number of women (1-2 in every 1000) experience postnatal psychosis, a severe and urgent condition.

While many can be supported at home, some need specialist, inpatient care — and that’s where the Parent and Baby Unit steps in, offering a calm, homely, and healing environment for both mums and babies.

🎯 Our goal: To raise funds that will directly support this vital service — helping women recover and bond with their babies in a safe, nurturing space, while involving partners and families every step of the way.

Please support us — donate, share, or even come along to cheer us on!
