Last week Saqib was invited to meet with Baby Lifeline in their Solihull office to discuss some of the amazing work the charity has been doing.
Baby Lifeline is a national charity whose mission is to make care safer and better for every pregnant woman, pregnant person, and newborn baby all over the UK and worldwide.
It does this by supporting and working with NHS professionals at the heart of care – buying equipment, developing and providing critical training and conducting research.
Baby Lifeline was founded over forty years ago by Judy Ledger, after the tragic loss of her first three babies – sadly born too small to survive. The goal of the charity is to give every mother and baby the best outcome possible.
Saqib commented "I was absolutely thrilled to hear about the cutting edge support the charity is providing to healthcare professionals, not just in the UK but across the globe with Baby Lifeline providing over £5 million in aide to Ukraine since the conflict began to support pregnant women caught in the midst of the war.
As the Shadow Minister with the responsibility for Charities, it’s always a pleasure to meet with and hear from charities, but it makes me especially proud to know we have such a fantastic organisation right here in Meriden and Solihull East.
I look forward to supporting the charity in its work over the years to come."
