Thank you to the lovely folk of South Ashford Baptist Church, who have made items for us to sell, and given us a very kind donation to support our charity. southashfordbaptist.org.uk/t…

Save your pennies (although you can pay by card in the shop!), we have our next cake sale incoming on Friday 8 September at 10am. All money taken benefits the Friends, who use it to buy equipment and items to benefit patients and staff. 🥞🧁🍰🥮

Staff were astounded when supporters bought every single item on a wish list set up to support parents whose babies are born prematurely.
The NICU team at WHH worked with @FriendsofWHH to create the list, and a post about it was shared almost 200 times: ekhuft.nhs.uk/news/generous-…
