I'm hosting a #BakeForBIBS / #WearPurpleForBIBS event for 'World Prematurity Day' to raise vital funds to give sick and premature babies at the RBH the best possible start to life.

World Prematurity Day is on 17th November - a day marked globally to raise awareness for babies born too early and the impact this can have on families.

1 in 10 babies born locally require neonatal care.

Below is some more info about the charity...

BIBS work focuses in four main areas of activity, which we call keeping Buscot families "SAFE":

Support - providing families with emotional support on Buscot, and beyond.

Awareness - inform parents about what to expect from a stay on Buscot by providing written information.

Facilities - improve facilities and accommodation on the ward to provide a more homely environment.

Equipment - vital equipment for the ward including incubators, cardiac monitors, ventilators, phototherapy units, breast pumps and much more.
