Give It a Whirl in 2026

Share this:

For some, the new year is an opportunity to reinvent yourself. For others, it’s a daunting prospect with so many possibilities that you don’t know where to begin.  

Well, that’s where our 2026 Events Guide comes in.  

At The Grand Appeal and Cots for Tots, 2026 is the year for giving it a whirl to support sick children across the South West. 

Want to get a few more steps in? Take on a 10km. Fancy ticking a few more books off your to-be-read pile? Get involved in Gromit’s Grand Read. Simply want to support a cracking local cause? Do it for #TeamGrandAppeal and #TeamCotsforTots. 

Bristol Children’s Hospital is among the UK’s leading children’s hospitals. Every year, over 140,000 patients across Bristol and beyond are treated. It’s thanks to the spectacular efforts of fundraisers like you that the hospital can provide such a high level of care.   

We are also proud to work alongside St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), with our dedicated charity: Cots for Tots. St Michael’s NICU cares for over 800 babies a year, from those born as early as 23 weeks to babies requiring life-saving treatment when born full-term. 

Discover the events we have coming up in the year ahead, ready and raring for you to give them a go. Whatever you do and however you want to do it, we’ll be with you every step of the way. 

Give a gift that lasts a lifetime this Christmas
