Since 2009, the Ickle Pickles Children’s Charity has been raising money for the intensive care equipment that treats premature and sick babies and keeps them alive. Ickle Pickles is the only charity that aims to help hospitals raise money to buy essential equipment for premature babies nationally. The Ickle Pickles offers a unique opportunity to help vulnerable babies at a crucial time in their lives. Our long-term plan is to become the charity partner for 150 neonatal units and to donate vital equipment to every neonatal unit in England & Wales. All our equipment provision is need specific and we offer full transparency for donors as to how their donated funds are used: • Since 2009 we have donated equipment to over 30 Neonatal Units - each unit treats approximately 500 babies per year and supports parents and families through a very stressful experience; • We have built up relationships with 17 relevant clinical teams and regularly engage with them to ensure equipment grants meet each neonatal unit’s specific needs.
