The Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity
Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal raises funds to support and enrich the lives of patients and their families by fundraising to provide state of the art equipment, facilities, comforts and arts & entertainment in Bristol Children’s Hospital.
The Grand Appeal raised £12 million towards the new building for the first purpose-built Children’s Hospital in the UK, which opened in Bristol in April 2001. Since then, the appeal has funded a wide variety of programmes for patients valued at over £6 million including:
- State-of-the-art medical equipment such as a child-friendly MRI scanner, intensive care monitors and limb reconstruction equipment
- Family accommodation to enable parents and family members to stay with their child whilst in the Hospital
- Arts, music, play and educational programmes to help provide a distraction and diversion for the young patients
- Artistic enhancement of the hospital environment to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all patients.
The Royal Hospital for Children in Bristol serves a population of 1.7 million children from Bristol, the South West of England and further afield and treats over 70,000 children each year.
Bristol Children’s Hospital is:
- The regional children’s hospital for the South West providing seriously ill children with specialist care and treatments that local hospitals are not equipped to offer
- A centre of excellence in the UK for a range of services including the treatment of cancer, leukaemia and heart conditions. It is internationally recognised for the pioneering work of the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit
- The only designated paediatric Intensive Care Unit in the South West Region.
Your pennies can help Bristol Children’s Hospital stay at the forefront of medical treatment. Your support and generosity is vital, thank you.
