Christmas chocolate appeal

This Christmas, help us bring a touch of festive magic to patients spending the holidays in hospital. We’re thrilled to be launching our annual Christmas Chocolate Appeal, and we are appealing to local businesses and the community for chocolate selection box donations to spread joy to all our patients.

Donations of milk-free, dairy-free or gluten-free selection boxes are also very welcome to ensure everyone can enjoy a treat.

For many of our patients, Christmas in hospital can feel lonely and difficult — but a sweet treat can lift spirits and spread a little cheer.

We’ll proudly celebrate your generosity on our website and social media, and we can even arrange to collect your donations or help organise a visit to our Trust.

The deadline to receive all donations is Friday 5th December. Let’s come together to make this Christmas special for those in our care.

If you would like to get involved in any of our initiatives, please get in touch with us on dgft@fundraising@nhs.net.
