Cots for Tots Business Challenge
The Cots for Tots Business Challenge is aimed at businesses that would like to support the Appeal and make a real positive difference to the local community, through an achievable fundraising programme.
We are looking for  businesses to sign up to the Challenge and pledge to raise £1,000 in one year of signing up – it’s as simple as that! The Appeal will be there to help and support you in your fundraising efforts from initial ideas to get you started, to providing Cots for Tots branded marketing materials featuring a younger Gromit, specially created for the campaign by Nick Park at Aardman.
What is the challenge trying to achieve?
With the generous and dedicated support from Bristol and South West businesses we aim to raise thousands of pounds to support the Appeal through businesses pledging to raise £1,000 in one year of signing up .
Every penny raised from individual businesses signed up to the Challenge will make a real difference. Together, the Business Challenge members will make a massive difference and play an important part in helping us to continue to support the Special Care Baby Unit at St. Michael’s Hospital and Cots for Tots House, our 12 bedroom family accommodation suite.
