Henrietta’s squat challenge for the Neonatal unit at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust Charity

Suzanne Ball is raising money for The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust Charity

Squat challenge · 20 February 2026

Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Charity makes a positive difference to the patients of The Royal Shrewsbury and Princess Royal Hospitals. We pay for equipment, patient comforts, staff education and research, which goes above and beyond the funded services provided as standard by the NHS.

Story

Hello my name is Henrietta and I am 10 years old. I have decided that I would like to do a squat challenge to raise money for the neonatal unit in conjunction with SaTH Charity. This consists of 100 squats a day for a whole month!

I am starting my challenge on the 20th February until the 20th of March. I'll be doing squats everyday, before breakfast, after school on a dog walk, at football training, before bed, wherever I can fit them in.

The money raised will pay for mini rubber ducks. These mini rubber ducks will be given to each baby to join them in their first bath on the neonatal unit. The date will then be written on the bottom and this will be a little keepsake for families.

I am also raising money for the craft activities for the 'parent group' which runs each week by the psychologist and occupational therapist (my mum). This group provides an opportunity for parents to talk about how they are feeling, take part in an activity and learn about how they can support their baby's sensory development. But most importantly it is an opportunity for parents to talk to other parents.

This is a few of the craft items on the wish list for the parent group:

Super Mini Rubber Duck Bath Duck Toys (lots)

Wind chimes

70mm wooden rings for crafts

Acrylic Paint Pens (100pc)

16 rolls of ribbon

Jute sack material

Rag strips

Letter beads

Key rings

Dried pressed flowers (140pc)

Jars

Tea lights

Tiny terracotta pots

Canvas 5x5 inches

Acrylic paint (8 tubes)

The list is a bit bigger than this, but it gives you an idea of the what the money will be used for. Please give what you can, every small contribution counts. Small things make a big difference on the neonatal unit!

Thank you,

Henrietta Ball
