The rate of babies born premature or sick in the UK is rising with 1 in every 7 babies needing neonatal care. Bliss is continuing the fight to improve outcomes and quality of life for these babies - but we need your help to do that.

Edie was born very unexpectedly on 13 September 2022 at 25+5 weeks, weighing only 420g. She was born in Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport, and we recently had confirmation that she is the smallest baby ever born there to survive. These are the top line numbers and facts, but they do not tell the true story of how scary and life altering this moment was for my wife Laura and me.

Bliss where there the entire way for myself and Laura. They were able to offer support and advise as well as provide an extremely valuable resource for parents through their website.

Anything you can give will help families of premature or sick babies in neonatal care.
