In 2014 actors Sarah Parish and James Murray founded The Murray Parish Trust in memory of their late daughter Ella-Jayne. The charity is dedicated to the advancement of paediatric emergency medicine across the South of England and ensures that children affected by major trauma can receive the best emergency care as close to home as possible.
Since then we have helped raise nearly £5 million in partnership with Southampton Hospital. This includes funding for a brand-new Children’s Emergency & Trauma Department, 2 new bed bays for the PICU, a Specialist Intensive Care Children’s Bed, a full-time counsellor, a Specialist Helicopter Gurney to transport critically ill infants via Air Ambulance and a 3D Modelling Printer for paediatric cardiac patients.
