Help us give every patient in hospital a gift this Christmas

Join us on our elf-tastic mission to spread some festive cheer in our local community. From a Christmas raffle, to dressing up as an elf or making a donation. There is something for everyone! With your support, we can raise enough funds to support those spending Christmas in hospital and make a difference.

Bring the Joy of Christmas to Your Local Hospital

Whether you buy a raffle ticket, make a donation, or host your own festive fundraiser, you’ll be helping to share warmth, kindness, and a sense of togetherness with people spending Christmas in hospital.

Donate so that we can buy gifts

By donating money instead of physical gifts, you help ensure all inpatients receive appropriate items, reduce waste, save money, and support infection control to keep everyone safe.

Take part in our raffle

Each £10 book of tickets you buy or sell can help buy a gift box, bringing warmth and happiness to patients.

Organise some fundraising

Whether you fundraise by hosting a bake sale or singing carols, your support will help provide gifts and festive cheer to those spending the holidays in hospital.

Delivering Christmas joy to patients in your local hospital.

Thanks to your generosity, last year we delivered gifts to nearly 2,000 patients and festive treats to NHS staff working on Christmas Day.

How your donations help

Every pound raised helps provide festive goodie bags, activities, and a magical Christmas experience for patients who may otherwise feel isolated and forgotten.

£10

could provide a Christmas gift box to a patient, filled with festive treats and surprises.

£21

could provide stocking fillers that bring joy and fun to children.

£75

could provide festive treats for hospital staff working on Christmas Day.

Why donate?

By raising or donating money, instead of providing physical gifts to inpatients, it ensures that:

There is equity across all departments and age groups – no one will go without
We follow infection prevention control procedures – keeping staff and patients safe
Patients receive gifts that are practical and appropriate – reducing waste and saving money to help us do even more

Donating money reduces waste, and ensures no one goes without.

Join the Northamptonshire Elf Service to raise funds to bring joy to patients of all ages.

Just £20 will help us buy additional stocking fillers for a child in hospital, lighting up their day with joy and Christmas fun!
