The Lahna Appeal

When Natasha and Lance Beatty lost their five-month-old daughter Lahna Tula, they were determined to ensure a lasting legacy for her.

So, in 2009, they launched the Lahna Appeal in her memory to fund both pioneering and routine equipment for Southampton Children’s Hospital.

To date, the family have raised over £100,000!

Donate to the Lahna Appeal

Lahna would have been ten years old now and we’re so excited that this year we’ve raised £100,000 in her memory. We are extremely proud of everything we’ve accomplished, and want to thank our friends and the community for their continued support. We could not have done it without you. (Parents, Natasha and Lance Beatty)

Piggles early years education

Southampton Hospitals Charity funds the early years education of young patients aged 2-5 years within Southampton Children’s Hospital.

This was set up in 2017 by Caroline and Edward Martin in memory of their late daughter and successfully funded the first hospital-based nursery teacher in the country.

Donate to Piggles early years education

“It is about creating a normal environment within the most abnormal of situations. I tailor each session as much as I can towards the patient’s interests e.g. dinosaurs or vehicles, as that helps the child to engage with the session. It’s challenging, it’s emotional, but it is so rewarding to help children in hospital. If I can make a child smile, I’ve done a good job, if I can make a child laugh, I’ve done a better job!” Lorraine, Nursery Teacher.
