Send a Card to Someone in Hospital

If someone you know is in either Kettering or Northampton General Hospital, why not send them a card? Whether it is a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary, or if you just want to send a get well soon message, this service is a lovely way to let someone know that you are thinking of them.

How it works

It’s simple: fill out our online form, and one of our volunteers will handwrite your card and deliver it directly to your loved one. The service is free, though we welcome an optional donation to help us spread even more cheer across our hospitals.

Letters to Loved Ones at NGH or KGH

To send a message to a patient at Northampton General Hospital or Kettering General Hospital, select the image you’d like to accompany your message. You’ll then be guided to a form where you can write your message and provide your loved one’s details.

Your card will be written and delivered to the ward. Patients can read the message themselves, or volunteers will read it aloud for those who are unable to.

Cards can also be purchased directly from the Stock Shop at NGH or from the Charity Office at Kettering General.
