Story
This is for my nephew Harry who sadly lost his fight at 11 days old.
Every day hundreds of babies are born too soon,
too small or too sick
• One in nine babies is born premature or sick in the UK – that’s 82,000 babies every year.
• Around 17,000 of these babies need intensive care and the figure is rising.
• Every six minutes in the UK, a new born baby requires urgent specialist care.
• Every 24 minutes, a newborn baby requires life-saving intensive care.
The funds you raise can help Bliss continue their vital work:
• £10 provides crucial telephone support for a family through our helpline
• £25 buys a full set of information booklets for a family to help them understand their baby’s treatment and development
• £40 allows an overwhelmed parent to attend a counselling session with a Bliss-trained counsellor
• £100 provides essential training for a parent-to-parent volunteer
• £500 funds a Bliss parent support group for a whole year
• £1,000 provides a series of counselling sessions for four families who are really struggling to cope
• £2,500 helps fund a new campaign to recruit more specialist nurses for our most vulnerable babies
• £5,000 pays for a Bliss study day and support package for 50 health visitors on supporting premature and sick babies after discharge from hospital
• £10,000 funds our family support helpline for over a month.
Many thanks for helping me to support Bliss!
