Bring joy to our hospitals this Christmas

This Christmas there are plenty of ways to get involved in the festivities and support patients at your local hospitals. From sending cards to friends or providing a gift to someone in hospital, each time you donate, you’re helping us to provide important support and equipment to all those who use our hospitals in Basingstoke, Winchester and Andover.

To purchase a gift for a patient spending the festive period with us, please click below to browse our online donation shop. Everything featured has been carefully selected by the charity team and our clinical staff as something that our patients will enjoy and find useful during their stay.

Your order will be sent directly to our charity team which will wrap them and deliver them to wards, ahead of the big day, bringing joy to patients in hospital this Christmas.

Gifts for patients

For most of our community, Christmas will be spent at home, surrounded by loved ones, unwrapping presents while the smell of dinner wafts through the house. But for some, they’ll need to be in hospital, away from the familiar traditions they love so much.

To bring a little joy to patients this Christmas, we want to ensure everyone staying with us, either in Basingstoke, Winchester or Andover, receives a thoughtful gift to open, and we’re asking for your support through our Christmas gifts appeal.
