Hide AdThe NICU Parent’s Accommodation is a vital facility for families whose babies are receiving care in
the unit because it gives them somewhere to stay close by to their baby.
The house has been designed with a home-from-home environment so that parents can get as much rest as possible without having to drive for hours each day between their home and NICU.
In order to provide this accommodation to parents for free the charity needs to raise £15,000 a year.

Hide AdBianca John, Community Fundraiser, said “It’s been a great year working with everyone from the Supporters Trust and we are extremely grateful for their support.
“From attending the ‘Meet the Manager’ evening to our dedicated match day in November where LTFC beat Plymouth Argyle 5-0 at home, it has been a fantastic partnership with many memorable moments.
“My highlight was watching the lads on the pitch in our L&D hospital tops.
“A huge thanks to John Miller and June Adamson who organised all of the activities with some great events including the quiz night and magic show, and thank you to the bobbers with their smarties challenge which was a great idea.
