Northampton Maternity Services

Over £150,000 thank to you, our incredible supporters! 💚

Construction is now underway for dedicated maternity bereavement suite at Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust will provide a private, calm and compassionate space where Bereavement Midwives can support families following the loss of a baby.

The Daisy Suite will offer a more peaceful environment for those who have experienced loss, away from the day-to-day activity of the unit.

Although we’ve reached our target, with your continued support we can continue to enhance maternity bereavement services across University Hospitals of Northamptonshire. The more we raise, the more we can do to enhance the care given across the county.
