VINCI Building’s Newcastle RVI Multi-Storey Car Park team have been helping the Tiny Lives charity with their fundraising plans.
Every year Tiny Lives supports over 750 babies, their parents and their families as they begin a tough, emotional journey on Ward 35; the RVl's Neonatal Unit. These babies, some born as early as 23 weeks, require expert round-the-clock care to survive, grow and thrive.
The team have helped raise funds by hosting a Christmas jumper day and also helped with raffles and bake sales, donating £220. The funds will go towards buying Cuski® Miniboo bonding aids and help parents and babies to bond even when they're apart from each other. The team have also donated a site car parking space for parents attending bereavement meetings and will continue to do so until project completion.
Integrated Health Projects (the JV between VINCI Building and Sir Robert McApline) has now handed over a brand new NHS facility located within the University of Central Lancashire campus.VINCI recently announced that an extraordinary €10m of funds is being made available to help charities in the fight against COVID-19.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, IHP were asked by Lancashire Teaching Hospitals to accelerate the delivery of Phases 1 & 2 of Preston's Critical Care Unit. The team immediately implemented a 24/7 three–shift work pattern in order to reduce the programme duration by seven weeks.
