The Alexa Trust

The Alexa Trust is a UK-registered charity (Charity Number 1168705) that provides practical support to parents with babies in neonatal care. Founded in memory of Alexa James, a premature baby born in 2015, the trustees' mission is driven by their personal experience of loss. They aim to transform this heartbreaking event into something positive by offering vital assistance to families navigating the challenges of having a baby in neonatal care. The trust supports parents with babies in NICUs across the UK and promotes the well-being of mothers and their babies. By providing practical help and financial support, the Alexa Trust seeks to make a meaningful difference in the lives of families during a difficult time.

  • "Even the smallest person can change the world." - Desmond Tutu

The Alexa Trust is committed to supporting parents with babies in neonatal care, providing essential assistance to those in need. Our two-pronged approach includes: Direct Support to Parent, helping to alleviate the financial burden of fuel, parking, transportation, and accommodation costs, associated with having a baby in neonatal care. And Funding Essential Projects, donating vital equipment, such as breast pumps and sterilisers, to neonatal units, and funding innovative projects like Kent's first milk hub, to improve care and outcome for babies in neonatal care.

  • "The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places." - Ernest Hemingway

A future where every parent with a baby in neonatal care has access to the support and resources they need to navigate this challenging time, and every mother and baby receives the best possible care. We envision a comprehensive network of care, where: Parents are Supported Free from financial burdens, parents can focus on their baby's care, unencumbered by worries about fuel, parking, transportation, and accommodation costs. Neonatal Units are Equipped for Excellence Vital resources, including equipment and innovative projects, are readily available to support the health and wellbeing of babies, ensuring the best possible outcomes. By working towards this vision, we aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of families with babies in neonatal care.
