I'm running in the Green Park 10K & Family Events raising vital funds for Babies in Buscot Support (BIBS). A small charity dedicated to supporting the Buscot Ward at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. This unit cares for premature and poorly newborn babies.
BIBS work focuses in 4 main areas of activity, which we call keeping Buscot families "SAFE":
Support - providing families with independent emotional support while their baby is on Buscot, and beyond.
Awareness - we help inform parents about what to expect from a stay on Buscot by providing written information and we raise awareness of issues related to prematurity or sickness at birth.
Facilities - we refurbish facilities and accommodation on the ward to provide a more homely environment.
Equipment - We fund state of the art equipment for the ward including incubators, cardiac monitors, ventilators, phototherapy units and much more.
In addition, we provide gifts to make special days such as Christmas, Mothers & Fathers Day.
