A local charity has launched a crowdfunder to help raise a final £10,000 for the South West Children’s Research Appeal.
The appeal, set up by Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity, is raising money to build a new ground-breaking research facility at the heart of Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.
More than 20 per cent of young patients will get the opportunity to take part in research projects that could help in the development of cures for rare conditions.
Children usually have to travel to Birmingham, London or even Liverpool undergoing pilot treatments.
Money raised from the campaign will help patients and their families have access closer to home.
Katie Walker, director of fundraising and marketing at the charity, said: “It’s a really exciting time for us as we approach the final stages of this appeal and look towards the opening of the research centre.
“We need the people of Bristol and the South West to get behind our Crowdfunder campaign and dig deep. Your support can change the lives of children now and in the future.”
