The Ickle Pickles Children's Charity aims to give every newborn a chance. There are over 90,000 babies born sick or prematurely in the UK every year. Many require Intensive or Special care in a neonatal unit – we call these babies Ickle Pickles.

The Ickle Pickles is the only charity that helps hospitals raise money to buy essential equipment for premature babies nationally.

We provide new and much-needed intensive & special-care equipment for neonatal units and upgrade facilities to support parents and neonatal staff to make a big difference to the treatment of small babies.

How Your Support Helps

Your participation in this event will help us to provide essential care and equipment for families who find themselves on this challenging journey.

Donate £5: fund a milk cooling bag to help mothers transport milk from home to the neonatal unit.

Donate £22: provide a wellbeing bundle for parents in the NICU.

Donate £110: help fund a Sound Ear to protect premature babies from unnecessary noise, ensuring a peaceful environment for their recovery.

Every donation, regardless of size, plays a crucial role in supporting life-saving equipment and care, giving each newborn the best possible start in life.
