Today, with the vital support of our local community and businesses, Baby Beat raises funds for babies, mums and mums-to-be cared for by the two maternity units and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit which are part of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. We fund specialist equipment, patient services and comforts, clinical care, local research and training. Everything we fund is additional and complementary to what the NHS provides and makes a real difference to families from across Lancashire and South Cumbria when they need it the most. Our priorities are to support: Unborn babies from conception to birth and the wellbeing of mothers Premature and sick babies requiring specialist care including in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Local research to ensure the best health outcomes for pregnant women and their babies Emotional support and practical services and facilities for expectant and new parents facing baby loss We really value your support, thank you.
