Why does it matter?
Each year, over 90,000 babies in the UK are born sick or prematurely. Ickle Pickles is the only charity dedicated to helping hospitals raise funds for lifesaving equipment. We work with neonatal units and families affected by neonatal care across the country. By increasing our reach on TikTok, we can support more families, spread awareness of prematurity and ultimately, increase donations to fund life-saving equipment for premature and sick babies.
We’re looking for a volunteer from August 2025.
Every newborn deserves a chance. We support sick & premature babies across the country by purchasing vital life-saving equipment for neonatal units.
