This year we are delighted that Serial Scarers Rachael and David along with their sons Jak and Harry have chosen to support our Tiny Hearts appeal with their Halloween Scare. After 7 years of putting on their ‘Scare’ around their house, which attracts visitors from miles around, this year the couple have decided to use their Ghoulish Garden to raise vital funds to support the development and relocation of the NeoNatal unit at Barnsley Hospital.

Mum Rachael said “It all started because when the kids were younger there was nowhere to go Trick or Treating with no local Halloween activities so we decided to hold our own ‘Halloween Scare!’. For the last couple of years people have asked if are fundraising with our event so this year we decided to support a local charity and, having children of our own, we felt the Tiny Hearts appeal was the one we wanted to support. With the whole family now involved including Grandparents, Nieces and Nephews as well as Jak & Harry’s friends, each year is bigger and better than the last. It’s a really great atmosphere… and to be fair the adults scream louder than kids! Even the ‘tough’ teenagers come along and all run out screaming!”

If you are interested in coming along for your very own Scare, the event is held at 25 Park Grove, Barnsley!

We are delighted that our friends at Stan Plus Stan Two have chosen to support our Tiny Hearts Appeal with their Newborn Photoshoot Vouchers.

For a donation of £30 to the Tiny Hearts appeal you will have a professional studio portrait shoot of your little one! The Newborn Photoshoot voucher includes a 2 hour photoshoot along with your favourite image from the shoot presented in a 10″ x 8″ frame!

100% of this donation comes to our Tiny Hearts Appeal!

Stan from Stan Plus Stan 2 said “We are all really proud to be supporting the Tiny Hearts Appeal. We have been capturing images of babies for nearly forty years now, and as parents ourselves we understand how precious those first moments are with your new child. To be able to do what we love, while supporting this amazing charity is a real privilege.”

We have had our first #FirstTenner donation into the incubator this weekend and would like to thank our anonymous donor! It is great to see it snuggled in with fellow New Fivers from all the wonderful donations we receive into the incubator!

So far our wonderful donors have filled the incubator with a staggering £46 thousand since it’s placement back in November 2015!

Don’t forget, if you pay tax it may be possible for the charity to claim Gift Aid on your donation, simply complete one of the charity envelopes (sat on top of the Incubator)  with your full address and signature, pop in your donation and post it into the incubator! For every #FirstTenner donated your donation will be increased by £2.50 at no extra cost to you. All donations placed in the incubator will go to our Tiny Hearts Appeal! 

If you have organised a fundraising event or making a larger donation to the Tiny Hearts appeal we would love to hear all about it! Please either contact the charity office at barnsleyhospitalcharity@nhs.net or call us on 01226 431650. We’d love to shout out about our wonderful Hospital Heros!
