The Jessie May Trust has been chosen by Bristol City Football Club as their adopted charity in 2009/10.

It is the only charity in the Bristol area to provide specialist nursing care at home to local families caring for a terminally ill child.

The Trust believe the very best place for children and young people with a terminal illness is at home where they feel comfortable and loved. Their specialist nurses will visit families in their own home to provide regular respite care and ongoing bereavement support to children, parents and siblings.

They would like to wish Bristol City Football Club all the best for the coming season, and thank all the fans for their support.
