Care4Neo (voorheen Vereniging van Ouders van Couveusekinderen - VOC) behartigt de belangen van ouders waarvan het kind direct na de geboorte wordt opgenomen in een ziekenhuis. Op 17 november is het Wereld Prematuren Dag. Eén op de tien baby’s wordt te vroeg (prematuur) geboren. Dat zijn jaarlijks meer dan 11.000 te vroeg geboren baby’s in Nederland. Dit betekent duizenden gezinnen per jaar die abrupt worden geconfronteerd met een vroeggeboorte.
Logistieke operatie voor vroeggeboren kinderen en zorgverleners
De te vroeg geboren baby’s liggen weken, soms maanden in het ziekenhuis en lopen een verhoogd risico op hersenbloedingen, hart- en longproblemen en infecties. Voor de ouders, broertjes/zusjes en hun omgeving begint een achtbaan in een voor hen onbekende wereld met onzekerheden en risico’s.
Seabourne verzorgt de verzending van pakketten die ziekenhuizen ontvangen met daarin alles wat nodig is voor Wereldprematurendag. Om de ouders van vroeggeboren kinderen een hart onder de riem te steken ontvangen zij allemaal een handgemaakt cadeautje van Care4Neo. De zorgverleners op de couveuseafdelingen worden in het zonnetje gezet. Zo worden er duizenden stroopwafels onder de verpleging verdeeld. Als klap op de vuurpijl worden er op initiatief van Veerkrachtige ouders speciale paarse muisjes geproduceerd. Paars is de kleur van wereldprematurendag. Op Wereld prematuren dag krijgen ouders en verpleegkundigen dus de kans een lekker beschuitje te eten met oer-Hollandse muisje in de stijl van Wereld prematuren dag. “Al een aantal keer helpt Seabourne ons bij de verspreiding van deze pakketten. Dat is dus echt een hele waardevolle actie van Seabourne. Zonder hun hulp kunnen wij dit niet doen”, aldus Ilona Jochems (voorzitter Care4Neo).
Op 17 november is het wereldwijd Wereld Prematuren Dag (WPD). Op deze dag worden de kersverse ouders en de zorgverleners in het zonnetje gezet. Seabourne is sponsor van de Vereniging van Ouders van Couveuse kinderen. Wij verzorgen de gehele logistiek afhandeling van de pakketten en cadeautjes die worden verzonden naar 77 ziekenhuizen door het hele land. Dit doen wij graag. Wij willen graag de krachtige ouders van kwetsbare kinderen en de vereniging hierbij ondersteunen. Ook een bijdrage leveren? Ga naar https://www.care4neo.nl/care4neo/doneren
04-11-2020Countries have imposed “lockdowns” again. See the current restrictions .
As you all know Covid-19 has come up again all over Europe and impacting all countries around the world. The situation remains very fluid and as we see a lot of countries have imposed “lockdowns” again.
As this potentially will and might impact forecasts of you and your customers. Please find a summary of current restrictions below.
Alcohol and wine sales via ecommerce were opened up on 1 June 2020 after 66 days of an alcohol ban during Lockdown level 4 and 5. Online orders continued during lockdown with the anticipation of delivery within a week of the ban being lifted and along with new sales that exploded immediately after this announcement by the South African Government, this situation almost immediately resulted in unprecedented volumes which required couriers to instantly increase infrastructure and labour to accommodate the volumes.
Unfortunately the flood or orders directly impacted the ability to perform at regular delivery levels and created an extensive backlog in all systems despite market research and planning throughout May in anticipation of increased volumes.
Seabourne Express has been delivering wine nationwide for almost 10 years & are considered specialists in the industry, moving some of the most highly regarded & sought after wines across the planet. June 2020 will be remembered as one of the most challenging times in Seabourne’s history as we fought 24 hours, 7 days a week in an attempt and meet our customers expectations and achieve deliveries.”
