SNUG fundraising event a big success

Supporters of SNUG (Supporters of the Neo Natal Users and Graduates) at the RD&E Hospital, recently held a fundraising jumble sale at Sandford Parish Hall.

The event was organised by Kaye Vinnicombe, who received tremendous support from SNUG when her youngest daughter was born.  

Kaye is pictured holding her 15-month-old daughter Breanne, together with her son Travis Baker, 14, who helped with the sale even though his wrist is in plaster.  Travis later had his head shaved to a Grade 2, which raised £300 for SNUG. 

Nine-year-old Alisha Baker and her friend eight-year-old Ellie Kirby, pictured at the front, manned the toy stall.

Kaye said Breanne was born six weeks early, and even after spending two weeks in the Neo Natal Unit, SNUG was always there for them, for help and support, and she cannot thank them enough

The event raised a grand total of £415 and Kaye thanked all those who had worked so hard to support her, and to those who came to buy.  

She said they will be holding car boot sales to raise more money for SNUG.
