 In May 2014, a new helipad on the roof of the neighbouring Bristol Royal Infirmary became fully operational and will receive air ambulances from Bristol and the surrounding area, which will speed up transfer times for patients who are air lifted to the hospital.The HELP Appeal supported the construction of the helipad with a grant of £500,000.Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal is the only charity that fundraises exclusively for the hospital and the neonatal intensive care unit at St Michael's Hospital, to provide facilities and comforts for patients and their families.
