Organisers of a charity appeal at Southmead Hospital are launching a search for pictures of 1 thousand babies who have been born at the maternity unit for a new art project.

The pictures will form a two meter wide mosaic called 'A Thousand Smiles' to be displayed in the hospitals baby unit. Each of the donated images will form part of a bigger picture celebrating the work at Southmead Maternity Unit. Head of the fundraising appeal Trevor reid told Heart 'This is a really exciting project for the Hospital. We would love to hear from anyone who has had a baby at Southmead and would like to be involved in the mosaic. We would love to hear from Southmead babies young and old! We are hoping that everyone who takes part will also make a £10 donation to the Mum's the Word appeal, which is supporting the maternity unit at Southmead Hospital.'

Everyone who submits a picture will also receive a postcard size print of the moaic.
