Christmas is a special time on our paediatric and neonatal intensive care wards.
Although being in hospital is not the Christmas our families were hoping for, COSMIC and the staff on the ward go above and beyond to create a magical atmosphere, ensuring that children and families make memories that last forever.
By supporting our Christmas Appeal you are helping us keep families together over the festive season and throughout the year in our on-site parent accommodation, and you are ensuring that COSMIC and our dedicated team of nurses and doctors can continue to provide world-class care for seriously ill children and be there when families need us most.
These are just a few examples of what your gift could help to fund:
£10 – could buy a welcome pack and parent information booklet
£15 – could buy a baby hand imprint and presentation box to provide bereaved parents with a lasting memory of their child
£40 – could buy a Covid safe Christmas gift toy and fun pack for a family spending Christmas on our wards
£85 – could buy a sensory gym mat to stimulate a child with additional needs
£100 – could pay for a night’s accommodation for families to enable them to stay near their critically ill child
£400 – could pay for month’s counselling for bereaved parents

Every year, hundreds of babies and children arrive from across London and the Home Counties to be treated in the specialist intensive care units at St Mary’s and Queen Charlotte’s hospitals. They come to be treated for complex and acute life-threatening conditions, or in the neonatal units, for extreme prematurity.
At COSMIC our mission is to support the patients and their families, providing them with world-class care and services to give families hope and their children the best possible chance of survival.
We provide families with advice, one-to-one and group support, financial help and emotional and bereavement counselling, as well as onsite accommodation, to try to ease the burden and to help parents process having a child under our care.
COSMIC supports our dedicated team of nurses and doctors to provide world-class care by ensuring they have the latest technology, state-of-the-art equipment, and up to date staff training, which is not covered by the NHS.
