Oct 08 - BabySTEPPS Maternity Ward Donation
Local Charity BabySTEPPs aims to lend support and care to new parents suffering bereavement following baby loss. The charity has this year raised over £10,000, earmarking 10% of this for research into pregnancy health. These funds have been donated the ‘RESCUE’ project, which studies the best way to treat women who are threatened with premature labour at a stage in pregnancy where delivery would mean that the baby could not survive.
Thanks to financial support provided by the Kusuma Trust, the charity partook in a 3-day training session with a senior member of UK charity SANDS, which deals with Stillbirth and Neonatal Death.
The Government has sent a further 382 complaints about the border delays to the European Commission. These complaints have been collected electronically through the Government website and related to persons crossing the border into Spain or exiting Spain into Gibraltar.
