On Tuesday 16th June we will be taking part in Wrong Trousers Day, a fun fundraising event inspired by Wallace & Gromit.

The event raises money for The Grand Appeal, the official charity for Bristol Children's Hospital. The charity helps provide life-saving equipment, family accommodation, medical research, and support services for sick children and their families across the South West.

They support the hospital through:

Family accommodation: they run three accommodation houses that provide a safe and supportive place for families to stay while their child is in hospital.

Medical research: they invest in medical research programmes to ensure the hospital remains a hub of innovation, where everyday experts pave the way for sick children through a network of projects with international impact.

Equipment: they fund state-of-the-art equipment to save lives.

Music, play and art therapy: their music, play and arts programme can be seen in every ward at Bristol Children's Hospital, helping young children to deal with the stresses and fears they may face during treatment.

Art enhancements: they work to make sure Bristol Children's Hospital provides a fun, stimulating and comforting space for the brave children it cares for.

Every pound raised helps make a difference to children and families facing some of the most challenging times of their lives.
