Judy recently raised £120 for Baby Beat by auctioning a handmade NHS scrubs-wearing rag doll, and has since donated another doll as a prize for the latest competition.

“We’d like to say a huge thank you to Judy for such a generous donation and for giving us a second doll – you’re a superstar Judy!

“We can’t wait to see some entries, and we are grateful to everyone who enters as all funds make a big difference to the mums and babies on our neonatal units.”




Anyone can enter by going to Baby Beat’s justgiving page and donating £2, before suggesting a name of their choice for the doll.

All funds raised will go to the charity, and the winner will be drawn at random on Sunday 5 July.
