Thanks to your incredible support, over £40,000 has helped transform maternity monitoring at Basildon Hospital.

With new equipment and a central monitoring system now in place, our maternity teams can keep an even closer, real-time watch on more mums and babies - helping them respond faster when it matters most.

As pregnancies become more complex, this technology is making a real difference to safety, efficiency and care across the unit.

We’re so grateful to our supporters - you’re helping staff go further every day for local families.

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible volunteers who make such a difference across our hospitals, charity and to our community.

From our charity shop teams to those supporting patients on wards, guiding visitors around our hospitals, helping at events, driving our care cars, and bringing comfort as therapy dog volunteers - you make it all possible.

Your time, energy and kindness mean so much, and we simply couldn’t do what we do without you. Thank you!

Your donation, your choice. We’re here to help honour that.

Support the ward, department or appeal that matters to you—or give where the need is greatest. Either way, your gift helps us go further for patients and families across Basildon, Broomfield and Southend hospitals.
