Having to spend Christmas day in hospital will always be difficult but with thanks to the kindness and generosity of the local community, Northamptonshire Health Charity were again able to provide Christmas gifts for every inpatient at each of the hospitals we support.
Each year, we are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support in helping us to achieve this objective, which brings some Christmas joy to a patient.
All patients who were staying in hospital at Northampton General Hospital, Kettering General Hospital or at one of the community and mental health hospitals under Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust received a gift bag of items.
We would like to send a very special thank you to everyone who got involved in our 2021 appeal enabling us to continue to make such a big difference.
To all of the individuals who donated items, to everyone who purchased from our Amazon Wish List and to all of the groups, local companies and hospital teams who were involved – we couldn’t have done it without you!
Also, a huge thank you to all those who volunteered their time to help with sorting and distributing the presents across all of the hospitals.
Here’s a selection of photos of donations, apologies we’re not able to share each and every one but we appreciate each and every one of you.
