Campaign by Bliss (RCN 1002973, Registered Scottish Charity SC040878)
Running for babies born premature and sick so that they can have the best outcomes and quality of life.

Story

Our beautiful baby Florence was born in November 2017, six weeks premature and a very diddy 1.5kg. She spent her first 3 weeks being looked after by the wonderful doctors and nurses at the Royal Surrey County Hospital’s Special Care Baby Unit. Florence is now a happy, healthy one year old and we could not be more grateful for the amazing care she received in those early weeks.  So we would now like to give something back to help other babies born early. 

We’ve chosen to fundraise for Bliss because we want to make a real difference to the 95,000 babies born premature or sick every year. Every donation that’s made to this page brings Bliss closer to ensuring that every baby born premature or sick in the UK has the best chance of survival and quality of life. Bliss does that by supporting parents to care for their babies, campaigning for better neonatal care and enabling life-changing research.

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.
