Bliss is the leading UK charity for babies born premature or sick. We rely on donations to fund our work but with one baby admitted to neonatal care every five minutes we don’t have the resources to reach every baby who needs us. Your donation can help Bliss ensure every baby gets the best care.

Story

Thanks for reading my JustGiving page.

My first baby, Nathan, was born unexpectedly at just 24 weeks gestation - a whole 4 months early. He needed intensive care for 5 months before he was strong enough to come home on oxygen.  He received excellent medical care from the NHS at 3 hospitals, and he not only survived but thrived.  The doctors and nurses looked after Nathan, but Bliss looked after me and my husband.  They provided a helpline we could call, an online message board, lots of information and support, and a way to contact other families who had been through the same experience.

Bliss also fund research into improving outcomes for sick babies, and into preventing premature birth in the first place.  They run training for medical professionals, ensuring best practise is rolled out into actual care in hospitals.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So get your cash out and support this excellent cause!
