Are you a dad who has had (or currently has) a baby or babies on NICU? We'd love for you to join us on Sunday 5th July for an informal get together to eat pizza and chat about whether you would like to do something on a regular basis. No pressure to chat - you can just come and eat pizza! We will be joined by Becca, the psychologist from King's Mill NICU. All dad's welcome!
We were overwhelmed by the number and quality of applications we received for our London Marathon place and the Trustees had a very difficult job of deciding, but we are delighted to announce that our runner in 2027 will be Ruby! Ruby experienced life on the Neonatal Unit at King's Mill with her first son, during Covid. Owning a gym, Ruby is no stranger to sport, being a former international gymnast and now a personal trainer. However, this will be her first marathon experience and she is looking forward to the challenge! Thank you to every one who applied and well done to Ruby!
It might be miserable weather outside, but we’re all set up and ready to give you a warm and dry welcome to our coffee morning at Trinity Methodist Church in Mansfield Woodhouse. Here until 12!
There is just a week to go until the World Cup kicks off, so just a week to get your entries in for our predictor competition! Get in touch if you still need an entry form!
A reminder that our Roving Coffee Morning is taking place this Saturday at Trinity Methodist Church in Mansfield Woodhouse. Parking in Morrisons or for disabled badge holders, outside the church and access to the church hall is via the side street on School Lane. We look forward to seeing you there!
This week is Baby Communication Week and we were approached by the Speech & Language Therapist at King's Mill to ask if we could put together gift bags for families to encourage communication. We were delighted to rise to the challenge and today, all families at King's Mill and Bassetlaw have been given a bag containing a blanket, books, hand held mirror (to see baby when in Kangaroo Care), chocolates and information about communicating with baby! Thanks to Project Linus for providing the blankets!
For the last 8 years, we have funded vCreate to be used on the unit at King's Mill at a cost of £4320 per year. This app enables families to receive photo and video updates of their baby when they can't be there. Over the years it has expanded to offer much more and the families love it! We are looking for a business to sponsor this - you will get your logo on the app for all parents to see and we will share your amazing support too! Please get in touch if this is something you or your business would be interested in supporting.
There's just 24 hours left to get your London Marathon application form back to us - for your application to be considered, it must be in our inbox by 4pm on Monday 25th May. Thank you and good luck! We have acknowledged all those received so far, so if you haven't heard from us, do check we have received your application.
Our next coffee morning is happening two weeks today and this time the venue is Trinity Methodist Church in Mansfield Woodhouse! Join us for a cuppa and browse our bric-a-brac. Parking available in Morrisons!
Back by popular demand, it's Predictor Time! Our competition is back for the World Cup 2026 and you don't need to know anything about football to enter! For a form, email admin@emilyharrisfoundation.org or message us with your email address.
