Did you know one Community Midwife travels over 345 miles across Worcestershire every month caring for newborn babies and their families?

This November, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals Charity is calling on our amazing local business community to get moving and to try and match those miles in support of our Hold the Moment – Maternity Appeal.

You can run, walk, cycle or move any which way you choose, and every penny raised in sponsorship will enhance and improve Maternity Services across Worcestershire.

Anyone can join in, whether it’s a family walk, a team challenge with colleagues, or a solo run.

At the end of the month, we’ll combine everyone’s miles, to see if together we can match the total distance travelled by our county’s Community Midwife team each month caring for families. That’s a whopping 41,400 miles (so we’d better get moving!)

Every year, over 4,500 babies are born at Worcestershire Royal Hospital, and the county’s maternity teams are there through every moment of joy, challenge, and heartbreak. Our Hold the Moment – Maternity Appeal aims to raise £223,000 to enhance care and comfort for families, funding improvements that go beyond core NHS provision.

Funds raised through the appeal will support:
• Buddy beds so partners can stay close during those first precious nights.
• Specialist jaundice meters in the community, giving newborns faster, gentler testing.
• Welcoming maternity spaces that bring calm and comfort at life-changing times.
• An expanded Bereavement Suite, including a new memory-making room for grieving families

How to take part:
• Sign up via our Midwife Miles Challenge page on JustGiving: www.justgiving.com/campaign/midwifemiles
• Move your way – walk, run, cycle, swim, or dance your miles throughout November.
• Track your progress with Strava, Fitbit, or simply jot them down and update your page each week.

As we are completely self funding, we are asking local businesses to support us as their charity for any fund raising events they may be holding. This may be their annual ball, quiz evenings, walks, marathons/ half marathons etc. I will be delighted to hear from you.

Our Business of Remembrance initiative invites companies to partner with us in a truly meaningful way: by donating £800, your business can fully fund a headstone or memorial for a bereaved UK family on our waiting list.

Right now, over 150 families are waiting for their child to be remembered with dignity, and we’d love to work with some kind-hearted businesses to make that possible in Stevie’s honour.

Here’s what you’ll receive in return:
Where possible, we’ll connect you with a local family, making your impact more personal and community‑focused
A heartfelt story (with consent) to share internally, so your team understands exactly who you’re helping
Impact updates along the way
Promotion on our website and materials (if you’d like)
A chance to involve colleagues through workplace fundraising or awareness activities

This initiative isn’t about big budgets – it’s about genuine care and thoughtful support. Whether you’re a small local business or a larger organisation, sponsoring a child’s memorial is a powerful way to bring healing, dignity, and hope.

Want to learn more? Head over to our website https://lnkd.in/ekG3-WAN or drop us a line at hello@steviestones.co.uk.

Thank you for helping us turn remembrance into real action.
