I've raised £750 to buy new birth pools and pumps for free community use
Organised by Katy Beale
Story
We loan out birth pools for free to those in Hackney and the surrounding boroughs. Over the years we've helped hundreds of people have the home birth they dream of.
"It was fantastic being able to birth at home and in the water!"
We're continuing to fundraise for new pools as we regularly need to replace them. We appreciate any donation you can give. To buy one mini pool pool (+ one pump to inflate and one pump to remove the water) costs £175 + processing fees + delivery.
"We had our baby girl in the early hours of yesterday, at home in the pool. It was an amazing birth, really brilliant and I absolutely loved using the pool. So comfy...! Thank you both so much."
We have 14 pools in circulation and sometimes they spring a leak and need to be retired. Currently we have more requests for pools than we can accommodate.
We really appreciate your donation to help keep the free pool service running.
"Thank you so much for the loan of the pool - it completely worked it's magic and made all the difference!"
We will buy the new pools and pumps direct from Birth Pool in a Box who have given us a discounted rate. https://www.birthpoolinabox.co.uk/
