Paula's fundraiser for Plymouth Hospital Charity

Paula Tapp is raising money for Plymouth Hospital Charity

Skydive · 26 September 2026

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Fund raises money to enhance the experience of parents and babies either through the purchasing of specialised equipment, environmental decorations and furnishings and continued education of the team.

Story

In 1998 I did a static line parachute 🪂 jump to raise money for Cancer and MS as my Nanny and Nanna were dying of cancer and my best friend from school had been diagnosed with MS.

Now I’d like to go literally a step higher and do a Tandem Skydive 🪂 to raise money for NICU a local charity in Plymouth.

So on 26th September 2026 I will be doing a Skydive from 10,000 and any money that you could kindly donate would be greatly appreciated. Love and thanks to you in advance ❤️

In 2005 Plymouth NICU became the regional centre of neonatal care, serving the population across Devon and Cornwall. However the professional responsibility of caring for extremely premature and sick neonates extends beyond the patient with each bringing with them their own family unit.

We know through evidence based research, observations and years of experience the physical, psychological and financial demands that having a baby on a NICU can have on parents and families, and these are exacerbated further when parents are unable to stay near their baby. We at Plymouth have worked proactively with our Trusts support, our Keep Me Close Appeal and other agencies to secure a holistic approach to minimise some of these burdens.

The NICU Trust Fund was created to improve the experiences of our families and babies through the purchasing of specialised equipment, environmental decoration and furnishings as well as staff education.
