Raising money for

Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal

Charity Registration No. 1043603

The Grand Appeal raises funds to enrich and improve the quality of life for children at the Royal Hospital for Children in Bristol. Over 70,000 patients every year are treated at the hospital where they receive the best medical care and treatment possible, but NHS funding alone cannot meet the complex and demanding needs of children and their families which is why the Appeal needs your help. Please do all you can to raise funds to support the Grand Appeal and give a better, brighter future to patients at the Hospital.

My story

Thank you for visiting the Cots for Tots Appeal fundraising page.

The Cots for Tots Appeal has been set up in order to help fund a vital expansion in St Michael’s Neo Natal Ward, to help the newborn babies in need of special care and support their families.

NICU is the region’s specialist centre for the treatment of premature or critically-ill newborn babies. Part of the Bristol Children’s Hospital services, it is the only ‘quarternary’ intensive care unit in the South West and South Wales, able to provide life-saving treatment for babies with the most serious and complex conditions.

The Cots for Tots campaign aims to raise £150,000 to provide vital equipment for the Unit such as cots, incubators and ventilators. Money raised will also provide a makeover for the ward’s play room as well as enhancing the breast feeding area and facilities for parents.

NICU currently treats around 600 babies a year with demand for the service increasing as medical advances enable more premature babies to survive. The ‘Cots for Tots’ Appeal will provide additional first-class equipment and facilities to support the NHS funded expansion for NICU which will create more space on the Unit. These works will provide a totally refurbished playroom, a new breast-feeding room, parents' accomodation, as well as two new cots to enable up to a hundred more babies a year to be admitted.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: The Appeal will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please donate now!

Thank you so much for your support.

With very best wishes
