Jingle Jam Building
Together, with Jingle Jam, we’re creating a unique project that will change the lives of sick children from Bristol and beyond.
So far, Jingle Jam has raised over £1.8 million. This incredible amount will help build a better future for sick children by funding a UK first – The Grand Appeal’s Patient Hotel, Jingle Jam Building.
When a sick child needs long and complex treatment in hospital, therapy and rehabilitation are crucial steps in their recovery journey and being well enough to go home.
That’s why, together with Jingle Jam, we’ve been working on creating a pioneering facility that will transform care for some of the most seriously ill children at Bristol Children’s Hospital.
With accommodation and on-site treatment facilities under one roof, Jingle Jam Building will be the first in the UK.
We’ve been a part of Jingle Jam since 2017
