We make every pregnancy and birth safer and better for every mum and baby. Baby Lifeline raises funds to purchase much-needed maternity and neonatal equipment, is one of the leading providers of training to maternity professionals, and carries out research to improve care.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As a father of two children who I value above all, I cant think of a more worthwhile charity than baby Lifeline. From the foundation of Baby Lifeline in 1981 over £9 million has been raised which has helped to purchase vital equipment for maternity and special care baby units. It is an unfortunate fact that even with the advances in medical care and science today, more than 8,500 babies still die at or around the time of birth.

So there is a lot more work to be done. Baby Lifeline works with leading health and legal professionals to identify and prioritise equipment needs for the maternity sector, as well as cutting edge training for continuing professional development - to improve care already given.

As a parent I cant imagine life without my children, something I think all parents must feel. This may be a small charity, but it is dedicated to supporting and helping those most precious to us and they need our help to keep up the fantastic workl they do.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
