It also and arranges for national corporations to include information about Toys for Tots in their paid advertisements, and runs an education and public relations program each year.The Cots 4 Tots story began in 2010 with a fundraising appeal for Bristol's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at St Michael's Hospital. The charity has raised tens of thousands of pounds since its inception, supporting families with sick or premature babies in the West of England and South Wales. Its work includes family accommodation homes and the provision of state-of-the-art equipment for the NICU.
Cots for Tots House serves as an "home away from home" for families who are in hospital. It is located next to the NICU and allows parents to be close to their babies. Since 2012 the charity has assisted more than 2,100 families to stay at the house.
Families who stay at Cots For Tots House are reassured they aren't alone. They have a community of parents who are going through similar experiences and they are able to help each to help each other. In addition they have access numerous facilities to make their stay as comfortable as possible.
The charity also supports musicians who visit the NICU to help reduce anxiety and pain for parents and their babies. It has been proven this improves the quality of life for patients and their families. Music therapy can also decrease the amount of medications needed to treat these children, thereby saving money and time for the hospitals. The therapist uses specially-designed resonant instruments tuned to certain frequencies and play soothing music for babies. Additionally the resonant instruments produce vibrations that can relax the mothers and fathers.
