Community spreads joy throughout hospitals this festive season

Community members, local businesses and organisations across Worcestershire have come together to support their local acute hospitals, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, this Christmas time.

From donations of toiletry sets, hand crafted Christmas cards, new born gifts, gifts bags, chocolates and selection boxes to providing new toys the community has come together to ensure that all patients spending Christmas day in hospital can still celebrate the season.

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals Charity and Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust would like to say thank you to everyone who has shown support.

Sophie Burt Head of Fundraising and Community Development says: “Thank you to everyone who has shown support for their local hospitals this festive season.
