The Pied Piper Appeal

About the Charity

Founded in 1992, Pied Piper is the leading children's charity in Gloucestershire. Our mission is to make a difference to the lives of sick and disabled children in the county. We do this by funding medical and practical equipment that enhances care and treatment for children in hospital and in the special schools in Gloucestershire.

We also send children with life limiting illnesses and their families on Wish Holidays, support the ever growing mental health care in Gloucestershire and fund £10,000 worth of nursing training for the pediatric nurses in the County to ensure that the children get the most up to date care possible.

Our Vision

We believe that every sick and disabled child in Gloucestershire should have the very best care possible on their doorstep.

Our History

In 1992 The Pied Piper Appeal was founded by Peter Hickman to raise money to fund a new children’s hospital for the county – which opened at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in 2004.

Roger Head as Chairman of the Appeal then moved the charity into areas involving raising money to supply equipment for the special schools in the county.

Thanks to the generous people of Gloucestershire the charity has raised over £4 million to help local children.
