Welcome to The Cots for Tots Appeal which supports special care babies at St Michael’s Hospital in Bristol. (Reg.Charity no. 1043603)
The Appeal is raising ÂŁ1 million to provide 4 life-saving cots and a new intensive care Suite at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St Michael’s Hospital Bristol and a Family Accommodation Suite close by – and we need your help.
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is a very special place. Â The Unit cares for more than 600 babies every year from Bristol and all over the South West of England.
It is the only unit in the South West equipped and able to provide life-saving treatment, care and surgery at the highest level.
Tiny babies, some born as early as 23 weeks, are cared for on the Unit – their little arms and legs are often no bigger than your little finger.
Huge recent advances in the care of premature and newborn babies enable the unit is able to care for more and more babies creating an ever increasing demand for the specialist and life-saving neonatal care they provide.
To meet this demand, The Cots for Tots Appeal is asking for your help to provide new state of the art equipment and facilities to support premature and newborn babies from Bristol and throughout the South West of England.
