Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are a team of six, working as part of the Port of Tyne security team. We decided to challenge ourselves and climb the UKs highest mountain.

This is in aid of a fantastic local charity that has helped almost every person in the Northeast in some way.  

The Tiny Lives Trust. The work they do is fantastic, working alongside the RVI hospital in Newcastle looking after premature babies and supporting their families. We aim to raise £1000 for them but we appreciate anything anyone can afford, £1 or £100 its all really appreciated. 

Tiny Lives is a charitable trust that helps to care for 800+ premature and sick newborn babies and their families each year. It supports the Newcastle Neonatal Service at Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary that cares for babies from across the North East and Cumbria.

The fund aims to provide the highest quality of care on an ongoing basis and  needs to raise at least £350,000 every year to support a range of facilities, staff, and equipment:

• developmental care aids  and equipment, for example baby nests, gel pillows, sleep shades, and noise level monitors that offer the highest quality of care
• a package of support for every family so parents can chart their baby’s progress, including a memory box, journal, and stickers to record those early critical days, weeks, and sometimes months
• a family room and accommodation as families often have to stay close to their baby
• travel costs – financial support for low income families who may have to travel for many months from across the region
• a Neonatal Physiotherapist to aid early development, support families, and train nursing staff
• specialist training so nursing staff have access to the latest developments in neonatal care
• a dedicated Social Worker who provides social, emotional, and practical support for parents
• research grants that enable the unit to lead on neonatal developments and offer the highest quality of care
