We’re privileged to be supported by One Percent Collective and their model that raises awareness and generates support (managing regular giving) for The Little Miracles Trust.
Their latest Generosity Journal titled ‘Be Human‘ features Rosemary Escott, Nurse manager for Wellington Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Rosemary is one of Wellington’s ‘Neonatal Angels’, helping to manage and deliver the care for more than 1,000+ babies every year.
‘Working with these babies makes me feel that, while I might not have made a lot of money, my life is well-lived in the sense that my working life has been very productive. I feel like I’ve made a difference to thousands of babies over the years, and that’s really powerful”
Read all about Rosemary, the reason why she ‘does what she does’ and gain a little bit of insight into the incredible work that goes on in the Wellington NICU here.

How does it work?
- People join the One Percent Collective and select The Little Miracles Trust as a recipient of their regular giving
(They can choose 1, 2, or more charities to support)
- Their chosen amount per week, or per month, is given to One Percent Collective
- One Percent Collective look after all the donation receipts and administration, so we can spend more time on supporting neonatal families
- Every quarter, One Percent Collective transfer the funds to The Little Miracles Trust.
And, it doesn’t stop there. All the while, they share stories, do presentations and talks to spread the word on generosity and giving. Plus they host cool events for their supporters to enjoy.
This is a fantastic organisation and one which we are truly privileged to be involved with. Learn more about them here: www.onepercentcollective.org
