COSMIC (Children of St Mary's Intensive Care) was founded in 1994 to raise money for the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, which treats around 400 desperately sick children every year.

COSMIC raises money through a number of events each year, and is heavily supported by families whose lives have been touched by the PICU.

All funds are used to provide life saving equipment, to provide support and accommodation to parents and to fund training, education and internationally significant research into the causes, effects and treatment of life threatening childhood diseases.

COSMIC is a founder charity with Giving Lots, the UK’s premier online charity auction site.
