Home from home
'Home from Home' appeal
Bradford Hospitals Charity and The Sick Children’s Trust are raising £3 million to create a vital ‘Home from Home’ – a warm, welcoming place for families to stay free of charge, right beside the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Bradford Royal Infirmary.
But we can’t do it alone. You can make sure families with a baby born early or unwell in hospital can be together when it matters most. You can choose to host a Big Chocolate Tea, take on our £1,000 fundraising challenge, organise a big curry night in/out or donate to our appeal.
Every pound raised will go towards us supporting the 500 families a year who have a premature or sick baby admitted to Bradford Royal Infirmary. It means they’ll have somewhere to rest, cook a meal and have a hot shower, so they can face the day ahead and best support their baby’s recovery.
Plans include
- Five additional en-suite bedrooms which allow families to stay overnight, so they're closer to their babies 24 hours a day.
- This will reduce anxiety for parents, keep families together, and improve outcomes for our babies.
- Refurbished living spaces and kitchen to accommodate all parents and siblings on the unit, and allow families to support each other.
- A tranquil garden area where families can reflect and relax.
- A play area for siblings, to distract them and keep them entertained.

Nothing can prepare our families for their time in the Neonatal Unit, but we can make it that little bit more bearable. If you would like to support our appeal in any way, please call our charity team on 01274 274809.
