How can you Grant a Christmas Wish?

No child or young person wants to spend Christmas in hospital. But by donating to Grant a Wish, you can help fill this festive season with fun, laughter, and play for young patients at Nottingham Children's Hospital.

Each year, the local community and organisations generously donate thousands of toys and gifts to Nottingham’s hospitals. While we deeply appreciate this support, some donations sadly can't be used due to guidelines on dietary needs, infection control, or duplications of items we already have.

That’s where Grant a Christmas Wish comes in!

Every donation to this project ensures that our experienced hospital staff and play specialists can choose the items most needed, guaranteed to bring joy not just at Christmas, but throughout the year.

What will my donation help provide?

Corporate and community support for larger fundraising and donations

Each year, we support organisations and individuals looking to donate larger amounts or tangible items. If you're a local organisation or community group fundraising for bigger gifts or prefer to donate items directly, please get in touch. We provide dedicated support to corporate organisations wanting to help Nottingham's NHS hospitals during the festive season and beyond. Our team will guide you to ensure all donations comply with Nottingham University Hospitals Trust guidelines, ensuring your generosity has the greatest impact.

 

Please note, funds raised for this appeal may be used for other, similar projects for the benefit of patients if our target is exceeded or not met, or if the appeal purposes cannot be fulfilled.
