DF Capital partners with The Milk Bank at Chester Hospital
DF Capital today announced that it has partnered with The Milk Bank @ Chester. The Milk Bank @ Chester is the largest NHS milk bank in England and has provided donor milk to over 70 hospital neonatal units. It can supply donor breastmilk anywhere in England and Wales and aims to make safe, screened donor milk available to any baby that needs it regardless of the location of their birth. The organisation is supported by the many Blood Bike charities across the region which offer an amazing service distributing donor milk at short notice and free of charge.
DF Capital donated over ten transport boxes to the Milk Bank which will help deliver much-needed donor milk to neonatal units across the country.
Charlie Michael, chief people and sustainability officer at DF Capital said: “The Milk Bank at Chester plays a vital role in supplying donor milk to over 70 neonatal units across England, Wales, and Ireland. We were blown away by their dedication and tireless efforts, particularly in supporting the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St Mary’s Hospital in our beloved city of Manchester. With the invaluable assistance of Greater Manchester Blood Bikes, they extend a lifeline to babies who are facing significant health challenges. I’m thrilled that The Milk Bank at Chester is now one of our newest charity partners here at DF Capital and we hope to bring much-needed aid to infants in need and support to bereaved parents.”
