A dazzling Christmas light display at the Bristol Royal Infirmary (BRI) has brought festive cheer to central Bristol, raising vital funds for The Grand Appeal on behalf of Bristol Childrenโ€™s Hospital.

Organised by scaffolding contractors Shield Services Group, the lights adorn the historic former BRI building and were illuminated during a special event.

Former Premier League player and manager Ian Holloway joined the celebrations, switching on the lights to the delight of onlookers, including children from the hospital directly opposite.

The event is part of the โ€œShine Bright for Bristol Childrenโ€™s Hospitalโ€ campaign, which supports the hospitalโ€™s innovative Patient Hotel. This groundbreaking facility, the first of its kind in the UK, offers families a comforting โ€œhome away from homeโ€ just moments from the hospital.

With therapy spaces and practical support services, it provides vital emotional and logistical help to families navigating their childrenโ€™s hospital care.

So far, the campaign has raised an impressive ยฃ1,950, just shy of its ยฃ2,000 target, thanks to the generosity of over 70 supporters.

Organisers hope the display will inspire further donations to help keep families together and ensure children receive the care they need.

Ian Holloway said:ย โ€œItโ€™s an honour to be part of something so meaningful. This is what Christmas is all about โ€“ bringing light and hope to families who need it most.โ€

Luke House Shield Services Group Chairman expressed gratitude to all involved: โ€œWeโ€™re thrilled to contribute to such an amazing cause. The lights are not just a festive gesture; theyโ€™re a beacon of hope for the families and children in the hospital.โ€

To support the campaign and help transform the lives of families at Bristol Childrenโ€™s Hospital, donations can be made via the JustGiving page:ย Shine Bright for Bristol Childrenโ€™s Hospital.
