Mission Statement
The Friends of the Rosie are enthusiastic volunteers whose aim is to improve the services the hospital provides by raising money for items that the NHS does not buy. They have a loyal team who make children's clothes and toys to sell under the name "Rosie in Stitches". They are interested in the comfort of all Rosie patients. In the community they supply midwives with state-of-the-art equipment. If you can spare a few hours a week or wish to make a donation, they would be happy to hear from you
About This Cause
The Friends of the Rosie evolved from the earlier organisation, the Friends of the Maternity Hospital at Mill Road. In 1973, recognising that conditions at the maternity hospital were in great need of improvement, Mrs Maura Hudson together with the help of three other young mothers and much encouragement from her consultant and the hospital authorities, formed the first fundraising committee. With the move from Mill Road to the present site in 1983, a new committee, drawn from the nucleus of the former, founded the Friends of the Rosie Maternity Hospital. ¨The Friends¨ have raised thousands of pounds to benefit young mothers and their children in the growing Cambridge area, and will, with your help continue to do so for generations to come. Visitors to the hospital cannot fail to be made aware of the generosity, hard work and dedication of the Friends. The evidence is there, in every ward and department. Modern technology is very expensive. With the ever-increasing numbers of mothers from an ever-widening area, there is always a need for more of the essential monitoring equipment. We are, of course, interested in the comfort of all Rosie maternity patients at Addenbrooke´s, and we supply any specially designed items of furniture that will make life more pleasant, as well as refurbishing wards and lecture rooms when necessary. In the community we supply midwives with vital, state-of-the-art, medical equipment so that they can communicate easily with patients and the hospital. What the Friends need most are time and money. We need volunteers to manage our stalls at Addenbrooke´s hospital. We always need drivers to transport our volunteers to events. You could organise a sponsored event or any other fund-raiser for us. If you would like to become a Friend and can spare a few hours a week or even a few hours a year, maybe you can make something we could sell, or simply wish to make a donation, the Friends of the Rosie would be happy to hear from you. Thank you for your support.
