Additionally, our refurbished Labour Ward and Midwifery-Led Unit opened 12 months ago, and work is currently underway to provide us with a new Postnatal Ward alongside our One in Eleven Appeal-funded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.”
The Unit recently underwent a twoday assessment against the Stage Two standards of the Initiative and passed each of the nine criteria unconditionally with an average score of 93.5%.
The Baby Friendly Initiative, established by UNICEF in conjunction with the World Health Organisation, is a global programme which provides practical and effective support for healthcare organisations to improve the care provided for all mothers and babies. In the UK, the initiative works with health professionals to ensure that high-quality support is provided to mothers to enable successful breastfeeding.
Pam Cornwall, Head of Midwifery at the Trust, said: “I am delighted that we have been awarded this next stage accreditation, particularly as we passed three categories with 100% and four more with scores above 90%.

“The whole team here have been fantastic in their work to increase the number of mothers choosing to breastfeed their babies, and this is the first time that the hospital has been accredited at this level within the Baby Friendly Initiative.

Supporters View Neonatal Plans
A Big Thank You

Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity would like to say a huge “thank you” to all the support it received for the One in Eleven appeal from the local community, Trust Members, Trust staff and businesses in the area. We could not have hit our £1.8 million target without your support and on-going fundraising efforts.

The re-development work on our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit began in July, and we are on track to open our brand new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in late Spring 2014.
Fundraisers who have helped to realise the dream of

a new Neonatal Unit being built at Leighton Hospital had the opportunity to see what their hard work would create.
Since hitting our target for the building work, support has continued for the appeal and over £50,000 has been raised in additional funds through the One in Eleven appeal, which will be put towards equipment for the new Unit. So thank you again!
Representatives from Asda Crewe, Wincanton Logistics, the Ray of Hope group and the Frank

Hockenhull Trust (all pictured above with MCHFT staff)

were able to view the plans, tour the space where the renovation works are taking place and visit the existing Neonatal Unit and recently refurbished Labour Ward.
We would like to mention Sainsburys in Nantwich who have raised over £3,000 and Asda in Crewe who have raised over £6,000, both for the One in Eleven appeal. We have also had a number of individual donors
Tracy Bullock, Chief Executive of MCHFT, said: “The support we’ve received has been unbelievable. We would not be where we are now without the generosity of our supporters and every single person that has donated or raised money. It was very special to welcome back some of these supporters to see how our plans are progressing and we hope they will return to see our brand new unit next Spring.” who have completed sponsored challenges recently and all raised in excess of £800 each.

We hope to launch our next major appeal in Spring 2014, and we will keep you posted on news of what this will be.

The existing Neonatal Unit accommodates up to 15 babies at any one time, but more space is desperately needed. The new unit will still care for the same number of babies, but will provide far more room around each cot unit allowing families more privacy and dignity at such an emotional time.

Ways to Donate

If you would like to make a donation to Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity, there are a number

  • of ways you can do so:
  • There will be increased space for equipment storage

and parent overnight accommodation – there are currently only two overnight rooms, but the new unit will have two single rooms and three double rooms. The new unit will also be temperature controlled and have better acoustics to reduce noise, both of which are important in helping babies back to health.

Motoring Giant Helps Infants

Bentley Motors has donated more than £3,000 to support the One in Eleven appeal.

The Appeal hit its target earlier this year to fund the refurbishment work, and extra donations such as Bentley’s £3,257 will help to provide new equipment and further enhance the new unit.

Fashion Fundraiser

Dedicated followers of fashion were able to help out with fundraising recently, after the Charity held its first evening of fashion and shopping.

Richmond Village in Nantwich played host to a catwalk of outfits from stores based in the town, as well as a number of stalls selling gifts, jewellery, and Christmas items.

The fun evening raised over £1,300 for the Charity, who would like to thank all of the sponsors and attendees for their help.
Leonie Williams, Head of HR Operations at

Bentley, pictured above (right) with Laura Bailey, MCH Charity Fundraising Manager, said: “Leighton

Hospital plays a major role in the local community, treating hundreds of patients each day. The service and care it provides is outstanding and Bentley is delighted to show its gratitude and support the hospital through this donation. We hope it helps them continue their highly valued work, caring for the many patients they look after.”

Logistics Team Scale New Heights

Approximately one in eleven of the 3,000 babies born every year at Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust will need additional support.
Colleagues from Gist Logistics in Crewe scaled new heights in July, by taking on the Three Peaks Challenge in aid of Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity.

Laura Bailey, Fundraising Manager for MCHC, said: “We sincerely thank Bentley for its tremendous generosity. This donation will go a long way in helping us enhance our new Neonatal Unit with the best facilities possible.”
A team of warehouse operatives climbed Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scarfell Pike in Cumbria and Snowdon in North Wales, all within 24 hours.

Thirteen walkers and three drivers all helped to raise an amazing £2,000 in sponsorship. Gist Crewe employees then donated a further £5,000, which they had been awarded by Marks and Spencer having been chosen as Food Logistics Depot of the Year. The £5,000 prize is traditionally spent on facilities for staff, but the Gist Crewe employees wanted others to benefit from their success. Many thanks Gist!

Gist staff present the cheque to Laura Bailey, Fundraising Manager.

The £7,000 total was split between Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity and St Luke’s Hospice.

The total distance walked in the challenge is estimated at 42 kilometres (26 miles), with a total ascent of 3,000 metres (9,800 feet).

New Wheelchairs

A volunteers group has been thanked for helping purchase new wheelchairs for hospital patients.

Cakes Raise
Thousands

The Royal Voluntary Service has worked closely with the Trust to help bring in 40 brand new wheelchairs for the benefit of visitors and patients at Leighton Hospital.
Staff, patients and visitors at the Trust have once again raised a grand sum towards improving cancer care, as part of September’s

World’s Biggest Coffee Morning in aid of

Macmillan Cancer Support.
The service, which operates tea bars at Leighton and Victoria Infirmary in Northwich, has worked with the hospitals since they were built and raises funds by serving a range of food and drink, including almost 200 teas and coffees every day, to hospital patients and staff.
Teams at Leighton Hospital in Crewe raised a total of £4,041 through various coffee and cake events, with the hospital raising the largest total in Cheshire for the second year running.
Carol Nevison, Head of Region for the Royal

Voluntary Service, said: “It is a brilliant feeling for us that we are able to help patients out by working with the Trust to provide these new wheelchairs. We have a great relationship with the hospitals here, and we are currently looking at what additional projects we can work together on.
The Macmillan Unit also hosted charity stalls and a raffle, with prizes donated by local companies. The first prize - a combined television and DVD unit which was provided by Thompsons Solicitors in Stoke – was won by Sylvia Pugh from Winterley.

Speaking about the event, Julie Pieczarka, Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Manager, said: “I would like to thank everybody who attended, donated or gave their time to assist us. They all played their part in helping us to raise this great amount for Macmillan - it wouldn’t have been possible without them.
“However, none of this would be possible without the dedication of our small army of volunteers, who give their time freely to help make a difference to patients and visitors to their local hospitals, and I sincerely thank them for that.”

    C/R/D Summary Skeleton Document

    Application No: 14/0128N Location: Land to the north of Main Road, Wybunbury Proposal: Outline planning application with all matters reserved (apart from access) for up to 40 dwellings, incidental open space, landscaping and associated ancillary works. Applicant: The Church Commissioners for England Expiry Date: 10-Mar-2015 SUMMARY The proposed development would be contrary to Policy NE.2 and RES.5 and the development would result in a loss of open countryside. In this case Cheshire East cannot demonstrate a 5 year supply of deliverable housing sites. However, as Wybunbury Moss is identified as a Special Area of Conservation and a Ramsar Site the NPPF states that Wybunbury Moss should be given the same protection as a European site and an assessment under the Habitats Directives is required. As a result the presumption in favour of sustainable development (paragraph 14 of the NPPF) does not apply to this application. In this case specific policies in this Framework indicate development should be restricted on this site and as such the application is recommended for refusal due to its impact upon Wybunbury Moss. RECOMMENDATION REFUSE REASON FOR REFERRAL This application is referred to Strategic Planning Board as it includes an Environmental Statement. The application is also subject to a call in request from Cllr Clowes which requests that the application is referred to Committee for the following reasons: ‘This application has been brought to my attention by Wybunbury Parish Council and Hough and Chorlton Parish Council, together with the adjacent neighbours and the Wybunbury Moss Voluntary Warden.

I am the Lead Assistant Commissioner appointed by the Boundary Commission to conduct two things: To conduct the hearings across the whole of the North West into their Initial Proposals for the revised parliamentary boundaries for the North West region and, along with two fellow assistant Commissioners, Nicholas Elliott and Graeme Clarke, to take on board all the representations that are either made in the hearings or in written representations and to consider, in the light of them, whether we think it is appropriate to recommend changes, revised proposals to the Boundary Commission on their Initial Proposals. I should say that I am, in a sense, essentially independent of the Boundary Commission.

    Wybunbury Parish Council Comments to the Proposed Changes to the Submitted Local Plan

    Wybunbury Parish Council Comments to the Proposed Changes to the Submitted Local Plan Wybunbury PC wishes to make comment on the following to items. 1.0 The allocation of housing proposed in the submitted local plan for the Wybunbury/Shavington Triangle. 2.0 The Provision of a Green Belt/Green Gap for the area enclosed between the A51 & the Newcastle Rd from the Cheer brook Roundabout. 1.0 Wybunbury/ Shavington Triangle. The parish council contends that the total number of properties proposed in the revised local plan (400), contradicts its self in that the land shown on the plan is less than the original submission by the developer & approved by the strategic planning committee (360) for the reduced area now shown on the plan. This level of density was considered by the planning officer to be the correct density considering it is on edge of the current developed area & that the site is with in an existing outer edge development & needs to show sympathy & character to the existing perimeter properties which are a mixture of detached & semi-detached houses & bungalows. The housing density of the approved application (currently under construction) was considered at some length, at that time, by the Cheshire East Design Officer and Flood & Drainage Officer (in accordance with NPPF paras: 61, 66) where the significant constraints of this frequently water-logged green field site require robust SUDS systems, water storage and green corridor solutions. Density and housing design (specifically greater height of buildings towards the center of the site with lower level homes towards the site perimeters were expressly chosen “…to respond to local character and history, and reflect the identity of local surroundings and materials” (NPPF: para 58, bullet 4).
