The dedicated Midwifery Led Unit, which is due to open in 2018, will offer expectant parents the opportunity to have their babies in a more ‘homely’ setting.
The cheque presentation took place on Thursday January 18 at Warwick Hospital’s maternity ward.
Jen Emeny-Green, owner of Arty Splats, said: “It’s been such an honour to raise £170 for the Birth and Babies Appeal whilst having fun and engaging families and little one’s in our unique and awesome messy play parties.

“We look forward to supporting them with more fundraising in the future.”
