BloomingFit is proud to support the Mother & Baby Charity BabyLifeline 

What is Baby Lifeline?

Baby Lifeline came into being in 1981 after Judy Ledger, now Chief Executive, suffered the personal loss of three premature babies.

It is a unique national charity offering loving care and support to pregnant mothers and new born babies all over the UK.

However, it is an unfortunate fact that even with the advances in medical care and science today, more than 8,500 babies still die at or around the time of birth.

So there is still a lot more work to be done. 

What does Baby Lifeline do?

Simple really, Baby Lifeline cares -cares and helps. Funds raised help to supply hospitals up and down the country with equipment ranging from digital weighing scales to major pieces of technology such as incubators and scanners. The charity is equally proud of the support it gives to training and education programmes for doctors, midwives and other associated health professionals.

As the birth rate increases in this country to approximately 670,000 a year, we still see around 8,500 babies dying around the time of birth and during the first year of life.

As medicine has advanced over the years to improve the care of pregnant women and their babies, more expertise has led to a far higher demand on funds needed for equipment and training. The burden on the NHS is therefore greater than ever before and our appeal is to complement the work already carried out.

Baby Lifeline works with hundreds of expert health professionals to ensure the best possible outcome from pregnancy and birth - caring for our future generations.

Please would you support this exciting appeal, which will provide the equipment requested from our maternity units, ranging from small hand held heart detectors to monitor an unborn baby's heart rate, to monitors and scanners, providing the best care in pregnancy and child birth.

However small your donation may be, please be assured that every penny given will make a huge difference to the appeal and indeed to mothers and babies
