Stockport NHS Charity have shared their thanks with the Royal Nawaab Pyramid after the restaurant gave a huge donation towards their neonatal incubator appeal.
Restaurant owner Mahboob Hussain presented £28,000 to the Neonatal Matron Helen Large who heads the neonatal team at Stepping Hill Hospital.
The money came from a spectacular fundraising evening event which took place at the restaurant late last year. The event featured delicious food and unforgettable entertainment, including aerial performers, DJs and live music, together with a raffle and auction with showstopping prizes.
The donation is going towards a new incubator which will help newborn babies needing extra support have the best possible environment for their start in life.
The Drager Babyleo TN500 is a state-of-the-art incubator, also known as a resuscitaire, which will help to enhance care for poorly and premature babies. It is smaller than standard incubators so it can be used as a travel incubator, giving easier access for both parents and midwifery team should a baby need transporting to a special unit.
Other advantages of the incubator are a low noise level, minimised disturbance, and helping to allow ‘kangaroo (skin-to-skin) care’ , giving an overall enhanced experience for both parents and babies.
Charity Manager Kate Leadbeater said; “The support from Mr Mahboob Hussain and his team at Royal Nawaab Pyramid has been the most wonderful gift in so many ways, and we feel truly blessed and are extremely grateful.
The event at the stunning venue was spectacular and was a wonderful way of bringing our community together, raising funds for this life saving piece of equipment to help babies breathe and keep them warm.”
Stockport NHS Charity supports Stepping Hill Hospital and local community NHS services to help provide care for patients above and beyond the usual standard. The neonatal incubator appeal is their latest high profile appeal for this cause.
With over £29,780 of the £47,500 needed already raised, the charity is already well over half way there, and is now appealing for more fundraisers to help them meet the target. The charity is appealing for volunteers to run their own fundraising events of all kinds to support the cause.
