Help us do more to support women and babies at UCLH

We fundraise to support women throughout their pregnancy and birthing journey. Our goal is to create a more comfortable, reassuring, and well-equipped environment for women, their loved ones and the healthcare professionals who look after them.

At present we are fundraising to support: 

  • Refurbishment of the birthing pool on the labour ward – Water immersion during labour helps reduce the effects of gravity, allowing women to move freely, relax, and lower adrenaline levels. This enhances the body's natural ability to manage labour pains and promotes the release of the body's natural hormones, contributing to a calmer and more positive birth experience. Having this facility provides women who are regarded as more 'high risk' the opportunity to birth in a more relaxed and comfortable environment within the safe limitations of the labour ward.  
  • Improve the patient and visitor lounge – A well-designed hospital environment plays a vital role in supporting emotional wellbeing. We aim to refurbish the patient and visitor lounge to provide a more welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for patients and families to use during visits and whilst awaiting their formal discharge from the hospital.  

Every donation helps us improve maternity care and create a more supportive experience for new mums and their babies. To contribute to our appeal, go to donate and select "Maternity" from the drop-down menu. 

Thank you for helping us make a meaningful difference.
