It is our belief that in their earliest and toughest days of life, our tiny patients - and their families - should have top-level services available to them.

Our charity was founded in 1985 to serve this purpose, and offer a 'financial top up' so the unit has the gold standard of everything it needs. This could be anything from equipment to furnishing the Bereavement Suite on the Unit for those hardest of journeys.

With about 1200 babies passing through Oliver Fisher NICU per year, our funds provide vital and extra care beyond NHS funding. This allows support to be given not just to patients, but also their families who are also going through ridiculously stressful times. In addition, we can provide top of the line equipment to deliver better health outcomes for the babies.
