Bristol Charity Advent Calendar – day 15

By Bristol24/7  Tuesday Dec 13, 2016

Southmead Hospital Charity raises money to support North Bristol NHS Trust which includes Southmead Hospital, Cossham Hospital and community health services in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset.

All of the projects that the charity funds makes visiting or staying in one of these hospitals a better experience for patients and their families. Thanks to donors and supporters they are able to fund medical research, specialist equipment and staff development.

They also help to fund the Fresh Arts programme which makes a positive and welcoming difference to hospitals through its performance and arts projects

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

The charity supports over 300 different funds representing departments and wards throughout the Trust, from neurology to NICU (Neo-natal Intensive Care), from renal to radiology. This means supporters can ensure their money goes to exactly the cause that’s close to their hearts.

Earlier this year they launched their most ambitious Appeal yet – to raise £2 million to buy two new surgical robots to treat local men with prostate cancer.  

– Southmead Hospital Charity has a variety of different fundraising events, find them all here.
– To donate by cheque, cash, text or to set up a regular donation visit their website.

Every day during Advent, Bristol24/7 will be focusing on a Bristol charity that you can support. If you want to see a charity featured, please email [email protected]
