Globally, an estimated 15 million babies are born prematurely each year and that number is rising.
World Prematurity Day helps to address this concern and improve the situation of preterm babies and their families.
On the 17th November, help us to raise awareness of this meaningful day by joining us in lighting a candle.
This year we have sent out over 3000 purple items to various hospital units around the UK to help them to celebrate today and to raise awareness to premature births .
