Small Gifts, Big Change for Sick Children and Babies

It takes just a moment to make a difference that lasts all year long.

Set up a monthly donation and start changing lives at Bristol Children’s Hospital and St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Every year, thousands of young patients rely on the extraordinary care of Bristol Children’s Hospital and St Michael’s NICU. But some of the vital support that makes each day brighter, calmer and safer comes from supporters like you.

As the dedicated charity for both the children’s hospital and NICU, we fund life-changing services the NHS alone cannot provide, bringing joy, distraction and hope to the families who need it most.

The difference you make

A regular donation is one of the most powerful ways to support young patients and their families.

It allows us to:

Plan long-term support for families in hospital;

Fund essential services not covered by the NHS;

Respond quickly to urgent needs across NICU and paediatric care;

Provide consistent comfort, care and hope every single day.

Morris’ story

Your kindness helps children like Morris, who was less than a week old when he underwent lifesaving surgery.

His mum, Heather, shared why she’s become one of our dedicated regular givers:

“Morris was hospitalised at three days old. At the time, I had no idea that charities like The Grand Appeal even existed.

When we first ended up in Bristol, we were worried about where we were going to stay and how we were financially going to make it through Morris’ treatment.

The Grand Appeal sorted everything for us, providing us with free accommodation, which took a massive load of worry off our shoulders and allowed us just to be present for our baby.

Over the years, we have brought Morris back to the hospital for multiple follow-up appointments. We could clearly see the impact of our donations during every visit.

Receiving newsletters and following The Grand Appeal on social media has also given us insight into the real impacts of where our donations go, supporting everything from family accommodation and play therapy to medical research.”

As an individual whose family (and life) has been changed by generous people who donate regularly, I would say: please consider becoming a regular giver and, in turn, becoming a lifesaver.
