Corporate Partnership Scheme

There are many ways in which a company who cares about the facilities available to the community, and indeed to its own staff, can support The Forever Friends Appeal and the NICU ‘space to grow’ Campaign.

Becoming a Corporate Partner or Supporter

Giving premature and sick babies a better start in life is what this Campaign is all about - and your company support will be greatly valued and appreciated, especially by the families involved. We offer a range of ‘Naming Opportunities’ to acknowledge your support and provide a close association between your company name and the NICU project. These comprise areas of specific usage, including: clinical, pastoral and parental accommodation – all embracing the holistic model of care for premature babies and their families. The clinical areas range from Intensive Care to a laboratory for analysing samples for diagnosis. Areas of the new NICU that can be supported under Corporate Partnership are detailed in our 'Corporate case for support' document - please click to download, but please feel free to discuss the full range of possibilities with Nina Rack, our Corporate Officer.

Donor acknowledgement (depending on each company’s preference) includes:

• ‘Naming’ using glass plaques, or in association with art work/s within the new NICU
• Acknowledgement on The Forever Friends Appeal stained glass windows in the main entrance of the hospital
• Media coverage of your company’s involvement. The Appeal works closely with the local media to maximise photo opportunities and press releases – ensuring that your support and branding receive the coverage desired
• Acknowledgement on literature and material associated with NICU including our regular Newsletter to 7,000 Appeal donors
• Involvement in the opening celebrations for the new NICU
• Invitations to lectures, briefings and events run by NICU
• Invitations to events organised by The Forever Friends Appeal, for example, its annual receptions for major individual and company supporters
