💙 Support Abbi and Jack's SPRING fundraiser in memory of Elliot and help families and parents impacted by baby loss in our community: https://www.justgiving.com/page/abbi-jack-appleton-280626🔗

On Saturday 10 October, during Baby Loss Awareness Week, Abbi and Jack will be walking 10km alongside friends and colleagues from Hillside Vets in memory of Elliot, while raising funds for SPRING. As part of their fundraising efforts, Abbi has also set herself the challenge of walking 300,000 steps throughout the month. 👟

SPRING is a dedicated service, funded by University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity, that provides support to parents and families who have experienced baby loss. 🌸💙

Abbi and Jack said the “genuine empathy, kindness and support” they received from University Hospitals Dorset NHS staff and SPRING meant “more than we can put into words” as they navigated the “most heartbreaking experience” of their lives. By raising funds for SPRING, they hope to help other families facing baby loss receive the same compassionate care and support that meant so much to them.

To support Abbi and Jack's fundraiser for SPRING in memory of Elliot, please donate via their JustGiving page, linked above.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Going for Bust for their incredible £2,500 donation to our Dorset Breast Screening Unit (DBSU).🩷✨

This gift will help fund additional TORMAN Test Tools, specialist quality control devices used to check and monitor the accuracy of mammography and breast screening X-ray machines. Currently, we have two test tools: one based within the DBSU for use on-site, and another that travels across the county to test equipment in our mobile screening units. 🏥

Increasing the number of test tools available would allow machines in the mobile units to be tested more efficiently and improve flow for patients undergoing screenings.

Local groups, like Going for Bust, can make an extraordinary impact on local hospitals. 💕 If your club, association, lodge or community organisation would like to support our hospitals, we'd be delighted to work alongside you.
