Northcliffe Media's ambitious campaign shows that local activity remains at the heart of its regional publishing responsibility. The campaign aims to raise £1 million for the neonatal intensive care unit for premature babies in the city's St Michael's Hospital. The unit serves the whole of the South West which means that every month, up to 10 babies are turned away because there is no room for them. The £1 million will pay for more intensive care cots, create more space on the ward and provide more accommodation for families. Working with the hospital, the campaign encourages readers to donate and to organise fund-raising events. The Bristol Evening Post is running daily stories about the work of the unit, its medical staff and the children and parents it has helped. In its first month the campaign raised £50,000.
