Northamptonshire Health Charity & SSNAP Oxford

We are raising money to give something back for the care offered to us by both Northamptonshire Health Charity at Northampton General Hospital, and SSNAP at Oxford John Radcliffe Hospital last year, when our son was born at 28 weeks old gestation last year and was critically ill with a rare tumour. Against the odds and with some truely brilliant care, our son survived and after a month was well enough to be transferred back to Northampton General Hospital, where he was cared for equally brilliantly in the Gosset Ward SCBU for 2 months, after which he was well enough to come home.

SSNAP support sick newborn, their parents and those that care for them; by providing emotional, medical, financial and informational support.

SSNAP was founded in 1982 and has supported the Newborn Care Unit at the Oxford John Radcliffe Hospital ever since. The unit can care for up to 56 babies at any one time and is a Level 3 Centre, the most sick and premature babies from across the Thames Valley, are looked after in Oxford.

These are two incredibly supportive charities doing incredible things for parents during their biggest time of need, and are worthy of every penny we can raise. Please support these great causes!
