We fund specialist equipment, patient services and comforts, clinical care, local research and training so that our maternity and gynaecology teams can offer the best possible outcomes for babies and mums in the Central Lancashire and Chorley area. With the charity’s support, our neonatal unit continues to provide exceptional care for premature and sick babies and their families from across Lancashire and South Cumbria.
What We Fund
Thanks to our incredible supporters we’ve been able to fund many charitable projects that have helped to provide the very best care, treatment and facilities to mums and their babies at our hospitals. Take a look at some of our recently funded projects to see the difference this has made.

Here at Baby Beat, we know that small gestures can make a huge difference!
We currently have a number of our charity collection tins out in various locations in the local community, from shops, to pubs and cafes, to offices and schools, all in place thanks to kind supporters who decided to provide a tiny bit of desk/counter/bar space for them. And so far this financial year, we have received a wonderful £2,570 from these tins, just from the small change of donors! 🙌
Could your workplace or business help support the babies, mums, and mums-to-be cared for here at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, simply by taking one of our collection tubs? The money collected in these really does add up, and you'd be helping raise awareness of the work we do too! 🤱👶🤰
If you'd like one, please do get in touch with the Baby Beat charity team - you can contact us on 01772 524414, or email babybeatuk@lthtr.nhs.uk. Thank you! 🥰🧡
Can we collect a tin from Sharoe Green baby beat shop tomorrow please?

How lovely to read about the two history-making babies born over the festive period - the first baby born on Christmas Day 2021, and the first baby born on New Year's Day 2022, under the care of our fab maternity services here at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, were both home births! What a fantastic way to welcome the New Year 🥰🙌👶
While our clinical colleagues have always supported home births, this is the first time it's happened on both Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Both births were supported by the Ivy home birth team, who provide continuity of care to families in their own home, with a named midwife providing antenatal and postnatal care.
The first festive baby was Isla John, born at home in Buckshaw Village at 04:05am on Christmas Day weighing 8lb 11oz, and the first baby of the New Year was Alfred Slater, who was born at home in Lea at 02:05am, weighing 10lb!🤱
Congratulations to both families involved - and to all of the families who welcomed new arrivals over the festive period, of course! 🤗🧡
Ah how lovely, beautiful little bundles of joy, congratulations to both families 🎉😁👏🎉

Corporate support, from local businesses large and small, is a wonderful (and very much appreciated) source of income for charities like Baby Beat. As well as raising those much-needed pounds, it's also a great way to spread the word about what we do and the difference we make, as well as improve teambuilding in the workplace, or help a business reach their social responsibility goals.
There are many ways you and your colleagues could get involved, including putting a team into a charity event such as our Cross Bay Walk this summer; organising office bake sales, dress down days, or team challenges; corporate sponsorship of events; donating raffle prizes; or simply taking a Baby Beat collection tub for a desk, bar, till or countertop. 🍰🏃🚴♀️🎟
If you'd like to support Baby Beat in your workplace in 2022, in any way, big or small, we'd love to hear from you - just call the charity team on 01772 524414, or email babybeatuk@lthtr.nhs.uk. We’d love to have a chat, and help kickstart your 2022 fundraising! 🧡

We know how difficult it can be to have to spend time on a hospital ward over Christmas - so we want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to those people who have so kindly donated gifts to help bring a smile to our patients’ faces! 🙌🎁🎄
These lovely treats (over 100 of them!🥰) will be handed out to those being cared for here at @lancshospitals on our Maternity Unit, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, gynae ward, and at Chorley Birth Centre, over the festive period.
The items, which include cute soft toy snowmen, baby bibs and other newborn necessities, chocolates, toiletries and gift sets, and festive accessories and decorations too, have been donated by a number of local businesses and individuals, including Leyland's CCA Occasions, @sainsburys Fulwood, @tescofood Leyland, the customers of @puregym_preston, and local Baby Beat supporters Louise Clayton and Abbie and Callum McMichan.
Thank you so much to every one of you! 👶🧡🙏

We rounded off the last of our Christmas collections in seasonal style last night at @stgeorgespreston, with the help of the wonderful @nwaschoir! 🥰🎅👏🎶
Thank you so much to the singers who went all out to bring a little extra festive cheer to the centre, and encouraged shoppers to donate - and to Preston's Harmony Choir and One Voice Community Choir too, who have also joined us for bucket collections in the last month, as well as the shopping centre and the supermarkets that have allowed us to collect.
Throughout December, our collections have raised well over £1,000, to help us continue to fund projects to support the babies, mums, and mums-to-be cared for here at @lancshospitals. 👶🙏 Thank you to each and every person who volunteered to help us raise this fabulous total, and to everyone who was kind enough to throw a little spare change our way when you saw our collection buckets. Your generosity will help us make such a difference! 🧡
