At Bliss we work to support every baby born needing Neonatal care. We do this by 1. Campaigning for change: Ensuring that national and local policy changes are delivered which improve the staffing, systems and investment in neonatal care. and which enable more parents to be at their baby’s cotside and to play a hands-on role in their care and decision-making. 2. Supporting all neonatal families: Provide information and support for all families with a baby in neonatal care which helps them to be better informed, more confident, less isolated, and more involved in their babies’ care and decision-making. 3. Improving care for babies: Drive excellent and equitable care for every baby in every neonatal unit. 4. Putting research into practice: Put parents’ and babies’ voices at the heart of research, and use new evidence to inform tangible improvements in care on the ground.

Objectives: The objects for which the Company is established are, either acting alone or in Company with others and in such manner as the Company shall determine, to support the life of babies in distress at or in the period prior to birth or born prematurely or sick to increase the likelihood of their survival and to ensure that such babies have the best quality of life possible, and for this purpose to: (a) promote, fund and advance innovations in neonatal care.
