Helping spread the festive cheer to hospital patients and staff across Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital couldn’t be easier this year.
WISHH, the official charity of Hull Hospitals, is offering members of our community and local businesses the opportunity to support our Christmas WISHHes in lieu of writing Christmas cards.
For a £5 donation, a WISHH star can be personalised with a message and displayed on trees at Hull Royal Infirmary or Castle Hill Hospital. Supporters may also choose to feature their stars in the workplace or at home* to support the Christmas appeal.
Lisa Whitton, WISHH Charity Manager, said: “Some lovely messages have featured on our Christmas WISHHes so far, from thanking staff across wards and departments for care received by loved ones, to beautiful festive messages from colleagues to workmates in lieu of writing cards.
“Funds raised from the Christmas WISHHes will help provide gifts for children and older patients spending time in hospital over the festive period as part of our WISHH National Elf Service Appeal, as well as supporting the hospital’s chaplaincy service.”
To support a Christmas WISHH or discuss how your workplace or organisation can become involved, contact Lisa Whitton or Abby Wardill of the WISHH Team on 01482 622299. Christmas WISHHes are available from the Main Reception at Castle Hill Hospital and Hull Royal Infirmary. Alternatively, email Lisa at lisa.whitton3@nhs.net
Donations can also be made via their JustGiving Page and the team will take a photograph of your star and email it to you.
