The Worcestershire Acute Hospitals Charity’s Hold the Moment maternity appeal has raised over 75% of its goal to improve care at hospitals in Worcester, Redditch, and Kidderminster. Funds will support jaundice meters, buddy beds, facility upgrades, and a larger bereavement suite with a memory-making space.

The charity aims to complete fundraising by spring and begin implementing changes soon, with continued support welcome via website or phone.
