New mums will benefit from the generosity of a Manx charity that has donated 13 new ‘side by side’ cots for the Jane Crookall Maternity Unit at Noble’s Hospital.
Funds have been raised to purchase the new cots by the Manx Association for the Welfare of Children in Hospital (MAWCH), in addition to the charity benefitting from a significant donation from a national organisation. In November 2020, the Co-op Local Community Fund shared £17.3million between more than 4,000 local causes throughout the British Isles, through which MAWCH was awarded just over £15,000.
Margaret Davies, Secretary of MAWCH, commented: “We are delighted that we’ve been able to donate these cots to the Jane Crookall Maternity Unit, and it is our sincere hope that this will help give babies the very best start in life due to their close proximity to their mothers.”
New mum Shelley Rawstron recently gave birth to her baby, Caleb, by Caesarean section and was amongst the first to use the new cots. She commented: “I really appreciated the position of the new cot and being able to have Caleb right by my side after giving birth – my mobility was definitely restricted in the first few days. Thank you to all of the team at the Jane Crookall Maternity Wing for looking after us so well.”
