The Christmas Appeal 2025 Help us spread festive joy, this Christmas, through our appeal This holiday season, we're inviting you to help bring warmth, joy and a little Christmas magic to those who need it most. With our Christmas Appeal, you can get involved in ways that truly make a difference to those who may be spending Christmas in our hospitals and on our wards. Gift through our Wishlist Let patients know someone is thinking of them this Christmas Remember a loved one Buy a metal butterfly to keep a memory of a loved one close by Join the Santa Fun Run Our iconic annual fun run returns to Castle Park this December Every contribution to our Christmas Appeal helps us make the season brighter for patients and families. You can join us in letting patients know that someone is thinking of them by donating a gift through our Amazon Wishlist. Additionally, you can keep the memory of a loved one close by this winter by purchasing a beautiful metal butterfly. These timeless keepsakes help support end-of-life care and are a beautiful way to remember a loved one this season. You can also get ready to dash through the snow (or in our case Castle Park) in our Santa Fun Run! It's a great way to have fun, get active and spread Christmas cheer with friends, family and colleagues. If you would like more information about the appeal or if your ward or department hasn’t yet requested gifts from our Wishlist to be sent to your patients, please reach out to us at [email protected] or give us a ring on 0300 770 1369.
