Easter is right around the corner and every year we receive lots of enquiries from supporters looking for ways to help. We always welcome support to ensure all patients at Nottingham’s hospitals, especially those in often-overlooked adult and elderly wards, receive a little seasonal joy. While our Children’s Hospital is always generously supported, other areas sometimes miss out, and we love working with our community to spread kindness and generosity far and wide!
Ways to Get Involved
Easter Eggs: If you're collecting Easter Eggs for Nottingham's hospitals this year please get in touch so we can arrange drop-offs and deliveries with you. We'll be working across the hospitals to ensure donated treats are delivered where they will have the most impact.
Other donations: While Easter Eggs are a popular choice, many patients have dietary restrictions, and the Children’s Hospital often receives more chocolate than it can use before expiry dates. If you’d like to donate, we’d encourage thoughtful alternatives such as books, arts and crafts, perfect for bringing smiles to patients of all ages (plese note that these items must be brand new and in original packaging due to infection control).
Making a difference all year round – If you’d prefer to make a financial donation, your support helps fund projects that bring joy well beyond Easter. Thanks to donations at Christmas, we were able to provide six months of animal encounters for young patients and we fund year-round complimentary therapies, arts and music programmes across all hospital sites.
Tailoring your support – If you have a particular ward, area or department in mind, we can work with you to ensure your donation reaches the right place. With enough notice, we may even be able to arrange for you to join us for the delivery (subject to availability) so you can see firsthand the impact of your generosity.
Community and corporate support – We're proudly working with a number of local businesses this year including PW Click, Snap Fitness and Robert Ellis estate agents who are holding collections and fundraisers to support our Easter initiatives, and we'd love to work with you too!
Whether you’re an individual, business, or community group, there are so many ways to get involved. We love working with local supporters to coordinate donations, fundraising activities, and events to make sure as many patients as possible benefit from your kindness.
