World Prematurity Day 2020 - Tuesday 17th November

It's World Prematurity Day on Tuesday 17th November. 60,000 babies in the UK are born prematurely every year and every 5 minutes a baby is admitted into neonatal care, it happens more than we think. Bliss is the leading UK charity for babies born premature or sick. They rely on donations to fund their work and without this support, they wouldn't be able to reach the 100,000 babies needing neonatal care every year.

If you would like to join in to raise awareness then "wear it purple" on Tuesday! Why not post a picture of yourself in purple on social media to spread the word and tag #WorldPrematurityDay2020 and @blisscharity. We are encouraging all our members to wear people for the 'Zen with Scooby' training at home session on Tuesday at 7.30 too!

Bliss help families and neonatal wards with research and support. If you would like to make a donation to the just giving page set up by a member of the hockey family, click on the link here.
