The Pied Piper Appeal makes a difference to sick and disabled children in Gloucestershire.

The charity was founded by Peter Hickman in 1992 with the aim to raise £4m to build a new children's ward at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. The new ward was opened in 2004 and since then the charity has continued to make a difference to sick and disabled children in the county. We do this in four main ways: - Funding the Children's Centre at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and other county hospitals - Supporting SEND Schools with equipment and resources - Sending children with life-limiting illnesses and their families on memory making Wish Holidays - Improving children's experiences with Mental Health facilities in the county
