Support Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity Critical Journey's Appeal and make a real difference to the lives of the children and their families that we treat. Every year, more than 2,000 critically ill babies and children in the West Midlands require transferring between hospitals for life-saving care and treatment in our critical care ambulances. Your support will fund lifesaving equipment for these babies, children and expectant mothers who need our KIDs Intensive Care Decision Support & Neonatal Transfer Service. Thanks to your support we can help poorly children such as Arlo; Arlo from Telford was born at just 25 weeks, weighing only 1.6 lb and his recovery was dependant on our Kids / NTS team who transferred him 8 times. By supporting our Critical Journey’s Appeal you will help us ensure that every child we try and help have the best possible outcome at the most critical times.

Sexual violence is widespread and its effects on victims are complex, long-lasting and impactful; affecting mental health and the ability to cope with day-to-day life. Every year there are more abuse survivors coming forward for both therapeutic support and pursuit of criminal justice. As a unique service supporting the needs of sexual violence survivors in a large geographical area, our services are becoming increasingly stretched. Rape survivors are having to wait up to seven months for counselling. It’s really important that we increase our capacity to support more people at a time. "My counsellor has changed my life. I can now see a future" Client feedback. There are an increasing number of children affected by sexual abuse in need of RSVP's support, and we are launching a specialist children's counselling service. We're raising funds to create a dedicated children's facility - a child friendly space with therapeutic toys and games. "You've helped me to see that it's not my fault." Client feedback We need to raise funds to take on more counsellors, increase our premises so we have more counselling rooms, and open a children's facility. We really rely on donations to do the work we do, so any support is greatly appreciated. "I am a functioning mother and wife again, I never thought I would feel normal again, but thanks to RSVP I have my life back" Client feedback Our services: Advocacy support for children and adults reporting abuse, specialist sexual abuse counselling, outreach counselling in local communities, telephone helpline, social groups, self-help information, Visual Evidence for Victims and training.
