Gemma works with our generous grant-making trusts and foundations who share our vision of making Bristol Children’s Hospital and St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit the very best they can be.

Ellie is responsible for aligning us with philanthropists and trusts who share our vision – providing the highest-quality care possible at Bristol Children’s Hospital and St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. She is the touchpoint for many of our wonderful donors who support our projects including Neurorehabilitation Forest School, which allows children to get out of the hospital and enjoy family time and outdoor activities at The Wild Place Project. 

Alongside Ellie and the rest of the Trust Fundraising team, Kirstyn builds relationships with our incredible trusts and philanthropists. Among a huge range of projects, Kirstyn has worked with generous donors to provide funding for the vitally important music and play therapy services in Bristol Children’s Hospital’s in-patient cancer ward. 

Leanna is here to support anyone who makes a donation, gives regularly or takes part in our lottery. Most importantly, she’s here to thank you for your generosity. If you’d like more information on how to give as an individual, contact Leanna.
