EES Contracts Ltd are pulling only a Boeing 737 down the runway at Liverpool John Lennon Airport. We are raising money for the premature babies equipment at Alder Hey - neonatal is a subject very close to our families hearts which made it very easy for us to support this charity.

Working with Liverpool John Lennon Airport

Alder Hey have been working in Partnership with Liverpool John Lennon Airport for nearly 10 years now! Liverpool John Lennon Airport joined our Surgical Neonatal Appeal, helping to raise vital funds to support the build of a new state of the art Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) here at Alder Hey. Alder Hey are proud to say that construction of their unit has now begun, and when finished will be home to 22 neonatal cots and 18 individual family rooms where parents can be alongside their poorly new-borns whilst they’re receiving expert care. It’s the first of it’s kind in the UK.

What will your fundraising be supporting?

Support to our most vulnerable babies across the region does not stop there. At Alder Hey Children’s Charity we are now working to fund some of most cutting edge medical equipment to be used on the unit, all of which is not normally available via the NHS. With your support you will be helping to fund two specific pieces of potentially life changing equipment.

A Neonatal Retinal Camera - Babies who are born prematurely often have a higher risk of developing eye problems as their eyes aren’t yet fully developed. This new camera will be used by our surgical neonatal team within the unit to screen babies earlier so we can spot and prevent future longer term conditions.

A Neonatal Ventilator - Premature babies are often not able to breathe on their own and may need extra help from a ventilator to support their own respiratory system. Through the support of your fundraising we will be able to ensure our ventilators are of the highest standard for our babies, above that of those solely provided by the NHS.
