JCDecaux Community Channel is proud to support Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity and its South West Children’s Research Appeal to build a ground-breaking research centre at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.
In the region, the opportunity for young patients with life-limiting conditions to join potentially lifesaving research trials is restricted, as Bristol Royal Hospital for Children is the only big children's hospital in the UK without a dedicated research facility.
The project will give up to 20% more young patients the opportunity to take part in research that could help in the development of cures for rare conditions, every year.
Currently, children undergoing pilot treatments often have to travel as far away as Birmingham, London or even Liverpool. This causes huge disruption to family life and for many simply isn’t possible.
We are standing alongside our incredible local NHS, working with them to joint-fund this beacon of hope that will reach across the whole region. The ground-breaking facility will transform treatments, cures for poorly children will be discovered, and countless lives will be improved today, tomorrow and well into the future. We need the people of Bristol and the South West to rally with us to help this centre feel like a home-from-home for poorly children and help us unlock hope and find cures for families.Paul Kearney Chief Executive of Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity
The campaign is running in Bristol from 29th June with multiple creatives across digital billboards and street furniture.
