Call for knitted bears or bonding hearts! 🧸🧶🩵

We’re working alongside our Safeguarding Midwives Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS FT on a very special project to create 120 Memory Boxes for the 60 babies and parents who are separated at birth in Bradford each year.

These boxes are intended to offer comfort and a sense of connection for both the baby and their parents during an incredibly emotional and challenging time.

For many, early separation can leave a profound sense of loss that may stay with them into adulthood. Through these memory boxes, we hope to provide something meaningful that helps foster a sense of belonging and connection as these babies move forward in life.

We would like each box to include small, gentle items that symbolise bonding, love, and care. We are reaching out to our knitting community to ask if they would be willing to knit or crochet small teddy bears.

Please email charity@bthft.nhs.uk or phone 01274 274809 and we’ll send you the patterns! 💜

Bringing a little Easter magic to our NICU siblings! 🐰

It’s so important to remember the big brothers and sisters during their hospital visits. These eggs and activity books help turn such worry into happier memories.

Thank you so much Bradford Hospitals Charity and all the local business who supported the hospitals with easter eggs! 🐣

They say it takes a village, and our neonatal unit felt the love this Mothering Sunday. 💜

A massive thank you to Lillie's Grace Bradford Hospitals Charity and From Our Hearts To Yours for their incredibly kind donation of Mother’s Day gifts for our mummy's. Being away from home and often the important celebrations is so hard, but these beautiful gifts brought so many smiles (and a few happy tears)

Thank you for remembering our strongest little fighters and the amazing women who stand by them. Your kindness makes a world of difference. 🌸
