Bristol University Medics Paediatric Society is delighted to announce that our chosen charity for 2025/26 is Cots for Tots!!

Established in 2010 as a subdivision of the Grand Appeal, Cots for Tots provides vital support to patients and their families undergoing care in St Michael's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

As a specialist regional centre, St Michael's NICU department provides care for patients from all over the South West and South Wales, with some families travelling hours to get the care they need.

Cots for Tots provides local accommodation to ensure parents can be at their child's bedside whilst they receive lifesaving interventions, as well as vital equipment and wellbeing support.
