Across the two days of BritMums Live! PiggyBankKids will be inviting you to help support the charity’s work by painting your very own piggybank. Stop by at our stand to have a sit down with our expert piggy painting team and create a unique souvenir from your weekend to take home and show the kids (you can even take a spare one back for them if you like!) Tweet a picture of your freshly painted piggy for a chance to win some top prizes with the #spotthepig competition. Find out more at the PiggyBankKids website here.
And of course, don’t forget that you can hear our president, Sarah Brown, deliver the keynote speech on Saturday morning. We’re looking forward to coming down and meeting you all!
PiggyBankKids is about changing children’s lives. Every single child is precious and unique. At PiggyBankKids we work hard to give children the best possible chance of living a healthy and happy life. We want to help as many children as we can: from the vulnerable babies whose lives could be saved with the right scientific breakthroughs, to those kids and young people who have the hardest start in life.
The charity was founded by Sarah Brown in 2002 to help inspiring professionals continue their world-changing work in saving and transforming children’s lives. Since then, we have funded and support a whole range of different projects around the UK, and from this year, around the world. You can read more on our website at www.piggybankkids.org
Our flagship project is the groundbreaking Jennifer Brown Research Laboratory, where we are working to solve some of the most devastating pregnancy problems and find better ways to look after premature babies.
Supported by the Jennifer Brown Research Fund, our talented and dedicated team of doctors, scientists and research midwives are advancing pioneering research projects. Their aim is to make real progress towards resolving some of the life threatening complications that can arise during pregnancy for both mums and babies. The work in the laboratory furthers understanding of what causes early labour, how we can develop treatments to prevent it, and how we can better help treasured tiny newborns in those first crucial hours and days after birth.
