We support maternity services across EKHUFT, using donations to enhance the units, and funding the ‘extras’ which fall outside of NHS funding.

We also support the maternity bereavement suites- Precious Memories, at the QEQM hospital, and Twinkling Stars at the William Harvey. We recognise the importance of these specialist services for families experiencing bereavement in maternity, and work closely with the teams to ensure that the calm, private suites are suitably equipped to support parents at this time.

£10,000

spent in 2023/2024 on projects to enhance our maternity services
