Chair of the Humberside Police Federation Peter Musgrave said: “We have a commitment to helping our local community by giving something back to help local charities each year.

“When the 200 plus officers were asked at Scunthorpe to put forward a charity, the NICU received the most votes. After having my children looked after on the unit, I know what an outstanding job the nurses do and know this donation will go a long way to helping other babies.”

NICU ward sister Sarah Judd said: “On behalf of all the nurses on the ward we would like to say a huge thank you to all the officers who put forward NICU for this generous donation. It will make a huge difference to our babies who are on the ward.”
