Our NHS here in Bristol is facing its busiest winter in our 72-year history.

As the official charity for Southmead and North Bristol we want to challenge ourselves to raise funds to help our amazing colleagues. The second wave of COVID-19 has hit our hospital harder than the first. Our staff are busier than ever before, fighting this virus every single day. And our patients may face spending Christmas in hospital without visits from their friends and family.

To make this Christmas that bit better we will be dressing in our finest festive outfits and individually walking at least 25 miles by the big day on the 25th December!

To help keep our spirits high over the cold days ahead we will be competing to see who can walk the furthest and also see who can raise the most money for this wonderful cause.

By donating to this fundraising challenge, you're helping to protect our NHS and caring for those who care for us.

Please do what you can, and spread the word by sharing our page with your friends and family.

All donations will ensure our staff can continue to give the very best care to our community at what continues to be a really difficult year. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means so much to us.
