Bliss is the UK's leading charity for babies needing neonatal care. Bliss exists to give every baby born premature or sick in the UK the best chance of survival and quality of life.

Bliss champions the right of every baby born premature or sick to excellent neonatal care, experiences and outcomes. They achieve this by improving care, giving voice to babies, and supporting parents to be partners in care.

Their latest 2025-2029 is centred on equity:

  • Equity of care - every baby born premature or sick benefits from Family Integrated Care which builds a culture of partnership between their parents and the neonatal healthcare team
  • Equity of voice - every baby born premature or sick has their voice and interests represented by Bliss, to influence improvements in all aspects of their care at local, regional and national levels
  • Equity of support: every baby born premature or sick has well-supported parents who have the information they need, when they need it, to be partners in their baby's care
