You can read Finley’s story, told by his mum, Georgia, here: link.grandappeal.org.uk/finley Please be advised that Finley’s story is about child loss.
Finley lived for 15 precious weeks and left behind a legacy that will be cherished forever. 🩷 Throughout Finley’s long hospital journey, his parents stayed in our family accommodation. Even on the darkest days, Paul’s House and Cots for Tots House brought them comfort.
Drum roll for the ‘best dressed’ hospital team for Wallace & Gromit’s Wrong Trousers Day 2026. 🥁 The winner is... the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St Michael’s Hospital! 🎉 The team were presented with their trophy by Martin Gargan, Clinical Chair for the Division.👖
Make sure to add Buddy's Boat Trip to your summer reading list. This book is sure to make a splash! 🏖️ Thank you to the wonderful Wendy for donating all profits from her book to support sick babies and their families. 🩷
Here is my latest children’s book, set in Cornwall - Buddy’s Boat Ride £9 each. All profits will go to the @CotsForTots charity, NICU at Bristol hospital. Email: [email protected]
@wendynutton This is so thoughtful of you, Wendy! Thank you for supporting sick babies and their families 🩷
🔔 We’re hiring! 🔔 We’re on the lookout for our next Oncology Health Play Specialist. rebrand.ly/9adab9 👈 If you think you’d be the perfect fit, we’d love to hear from you. You have until midnight on Friday 31 July to get your application in. 📆
But this time, he set himself the challenge to complete the entire thing. 🗺️ Not only did Harry visit all 53 sculptures, but he raised an incredible £580 along the way! Thank you to Harry and our Cots for Tots supporters for the amount they raised during the trail. 🩷
Harry spent five weeks in St Michael’s NICU after suffering a brain injury as a baby, and he’s always wanted to give back to the hospital that helped him. 🏥 As a lifelong Wallace & Gromit fan, he’s been visiting the Gromit Unleashed trails since they began.
It’s been a year since our fantastic fundraisers set out on the Gromit Unleashed 3 trail and helped us raise £2 million for sick babies and children. 🐾 One of our stand-out stories from last summer came from Harry, who celebrated his 18th birthday by taking on the trail. 🎂
Losing a child is a loss no parent should ever have to face. Today, on National Bereaved Parents Day, we’re thinking of all the parents who experience this heartbreak. To the bereaved parents who follow and support us, please know that you are in our thoughts today and every day
There are many ways to support our family accommodation, whether you’re an individual or an organisation. From donations to room sponsorship, every act of support helps families stay close to their child when they need it most. Find out more here: link.grandappeal.org.uk/kzl 💙
When your child is seriously ill, even the smallest tasks can feel overwhelming. Worrying about where to prepare a hot meal shouldn’t be one of them. That’s why our family accommodation houses feature fully equipped kitchens, giving families a comfortable space to prepare meals.
Thanks to our kind supporters, we’ve funded cards and gifts for NICU dads today. These little treats help make sure that families still get to celebrate this special day, even if they’re going through difficult times. 🩷
Today, we’re celebrating all the loving dads on St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). 🌟 It’s never easy to have a sick baby in intensive care, so we wanted to show everyone spending Father’s Day by their little one’s bedside just how appreciated they are.
➡️ Want to learn more about the family accommodation that we fund? Follow the link to find out more: link.grandappeal.org.uk/kzl
When you’re far from home, in an unfamiliar place, with a critically ill child to care for, comfort can feel hard to find. But sometimes, comfort comes in small, simple forms. A quiet room, a comfy bed, or a bar of chocolate waiting on your pillow.
Thank you to our Cots for Tots knitters, who make every item Emma sells by hand, as well as everyone who has bought their baby a gift from Emma over the years. 🫶 Learn more about Emma’s fantastic fundraising: link.grandappeal.org.uk/emma60k
When she’s not saving lives on St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Emma runs a fundraising stall in the hospital reception. She sells handmade baby blankets, cardigans and soft toys – all of which support NICU babies and their families.🧶
Some news to brighten your day: Neonatal Nurse Emma has officially raised £60,000 for Cots for Tots! 🩷
