Victoria Vespa, from Market Drayton, spent a few days in the bereavement suite at Princess Royal Hospital, Telford, after her daughter Luna-Seren was 'born sleeping' on January 4, 2020.

While Victoria said the care she received was "second-to-none", she admitted that the "clinical" environment in which her daughter was born was just "not right" given the circumstances.

She vowed to raise enough money so that other people using the space could have a comforting, peaceful environment in which to spend time with their babies.

Now, Victoria is pleased to have received photographs of the suite from staff at the Princess Royal Hospital, which underwent a huge makeover thanks to fundraising efforts.
