Story

Join us!

Are you one of the lucky ballot winners? Whether you're a seasoned athlete, an enthusiastic jogger or a crazy costume wearer, we'd love to have you join team Grand Appeal.

Feels good, right?

That feeling only gets better when you are part of #TeamGrandAppeal or #TeamCotsForTots. Run with us and you'll get more than a charity t-shirt! You'll be part of a supportive and passionate family of fundraisers, challenging themselves to change a child's life at Bristol Children's Hospital or St Michael's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

The difference you'll make...

From the moment a child arrives at the hospital, The Grand Appeal is there. Our support workers offer comfort and advice; we give parents and siblings a free, private and comforting place to stay; provide daily music therapy sessions and arts and play activities; and fund the pioneering equipment and research that save lives. For over 25 years, we have provided 360-degree support to the 100,000 young patients it cares for each year and thanks to your support, we can make a real difference to every child who visits us.
