Support and Advice Groups

HERE ARE SOME OF THE SUPPORT AND ADVICE GROUPS ATTENDING THIS YEAR’S EVENT …….

Come and meet the people who are there when you need them most…..

 

We have chosen to raise money for the Nottingham Neo-Natal Units at this year’s Fayre.  Approximately 1000 babies will require Neo-Natal intensive care in Nottingham, sometimes for upto 5 months  – The cost is £1500 per day and rising –  We realised any one of us could need the Unit’s expertise and that the Service is the only hope of getting through such a time.We aim to raise enough money to purchase equipment for the Units so that all can see the benefit of the money raised.
