Nottingham Hospitals Charity

As the holiday season approaches, we’re delighted to share our 2024 Gifting Guidelines. These ensure your thoughtful donations have a positive, lasting impact on patients, families, and hospital staff across Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust throughout the year. ➡ https://lnkd.in/gE56wQhV 🎄 Ways to support through donations include: 🌟 Grant a Christmas Wish: Monetary donations help us fund wish list items for our Children’s Hospital that are selected by Play Specialists and Children’s Hospital staff. Your support has already helped grant over £7,000 in wishes this year, from arts supplies and games consoles to special animal visits, and with your help, we can make even more wishes come true this season. 🎅 Support our Santa events*: Help us sprinkle some festive magic to our young patients through donations of gifts, selection boxes, and festive costumes. Your contributions will make our two Santa experiences truly magical! 🎁 Gifts for Older Patients*: If you’d still like to donate tangible items to the hospital, then please consider our older patients. Items like socks, chocolates, and toiletries can really mean the world to those spending the festive season in hospital. *If you’d like to donate gifts, selection boxes or supplies for events please do reach out to us beforehand, so we can provide guidance on what donations will have the most impact. 

A big thank you to LAC Logistics Automation for renewing their membership to our Business Club for another year.

Not only will you be supporting our local NHS hospitals, but you’ll also enjoy exclusive benefits like branded marketing materials, promotion on our website and social media, and access to valuable networking events.

This weekend we kicked off our month-long partnership with The Nottingham Panthers, as their Charity of the Month for November, supporting #HockeyFightsCancer!🏑 Last year, Panthers helped us raise over £12,500 and we’re so grateful to have their support again this year. 👏 We’ll be at every home game this month, so if you’re coming along be sure to stop by, say hello and check out all the ways you can support us! From entering our prize draw for a chance to win a Panthers Signed Jersey to making a donation to receive one of our limited-edition Panthers pin badges, or getting ahead with Christmas and purchasing some of our Charity Christmas cards, there’s lots of ways to get involved.

🎄 Our Christmas tree recycling scheme is back and every January, we hit the road with the help of local businesses and volunteers, raising over £13,000 for Nottingham Hospitals Charity. We’re currently seeking friendly volunteers with vans to assist us in collecting trees once the festive season is over. If you’d like to join our incredible team and lend a hand, we’d love to hear from you! https://lnkd.in/eCxn9k2c

October has been an incredible month! Our first-ever NUH Big Bake Week was a huge success, with over 40 bake sales held across Nottingham’s hospitals and the wider community, raising thousands to support patient care. We loved visiting bake sales at the Breast Institute, Maxillofacial Outpatients, Inzpire, and more. If you missed out, don’t worry - you can host your own Big Bake whenever suits you!

We’re so grateful for our incredible fundraisers who find such meaningful ways to give back to Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. ❤️ Maggie Skinner is taking on the Great North Run to thank the outstanding team at Nottingham Children's Hospital, who cared for her daughter Briony after a serious cycling accident in August. Briony, just 9 years old, suffered a brain injury, and Maggie credits her recovery to both the team’s expert care and the life-saving protection of her cycle helmet. Funds raised from Maggie’s run will support our Big Appeal, helping Nottingham Hospitals Charity continue vital work for young patients like Briony. Next week, Maggie and Briony will share their story on the Notts TV sofa – we can’t wait to tune in! https://lnkd.in/eNqBYHME
