One thing no-one has on their Santa wish list is spending Christmas in hospital. Unfortunately, the reality is that many children and families will have to spend time away from home, to receive vital care.
Rotec Hydraulics Ltd is proud to announce we will be supporting Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Appeal, the official Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity, this Festive season.
We have donated towards the charity’s Christmas ‘Shine Bright’ campaign, which will light up the iconic Bristol Children’s Hospital building throughout December. By donating, we hope to spread festive cheer in the community, whilst raising funds that will benefit sick children and their families.
Rotec is supporting the largest of the light displays- a festive Gromit, which will be projected onto the side of the hospital throughout the Christmas period.
A number of other organisations across the South West are also supporting the campaign with donations supporting projections of stars which will sparkle across the remainder of the building. Together raising the spirits of the young patients who have to spend this very special time, in hospital.
Rotec’s Managing Director, Paul Prouse comments,
“It has been a pleasure to support Bristol Children’s Hospital’s charity for 8 years now. The hospital team go over and above to support and care for children and their families every year. They have shown remarkable dedication particularly throughout the pandemic, providing life-saving treatment and support to children and families across the South West and even nationally. We are proud to be supporting this worthwhile cause once again in 2021.”
Bristol Children’s Hospital cares for over 100,000 babies, children and young adults from across the South West annually and supports patients with rare genetic disorders, neurological conditions, congenital heart disease, traumatic injuries, cancer and kidney disease. Everyone can get involved with the campaign by spreading cheer in their community and decorating their house, window or garden. For more information about the ‘Shine Bright’ campaign, including how to get involved visit grandappeal.org.uk/shine-bright or you can donate here grandappeal.org.uk/christmas-appeal.
Every penny raised will help children in hospital get the care they deserve and families the support they need.
