How to Shine Bright this Christmas

Be a hero this December and find out how you can make the festive season sparkle for sick kids with these Christmas fundraising ideas.

We’re calling on the incredible people of the South West to come together and help make a difference this Christmas.

Every year, sick children and babies at Bristol Children’s Hospital and St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit rely on ventilators to breathe. We need your help to provide more life-saving ventilators so that every child has the best chance for life.

Please, help us make this Christmas truly magical. Get involved by sponsoring a star or Gromit Unleashed character in our unique hospital Christmas display. Or join our ‘Shine Bright for Bristol Children’s Hospital’ campaign and create your own festive display at home.

Create a cracking Christmas display

Could you raise money through your Christmas display? If you’re crackers about Christmas, why not decorate your windows, house or garden? It doesn’t have to be expensive, or big, for you to join in. We want displays of all shapes and sizes to join our incredible fundraising family.

Last year, festive fans across the South West came together to Shine Bright for Bristol Children’s Hospital. This year, our Shine Bright family is growing even bigger!

With your permission, your display will even be added to our interactive map for all to see.
