Give a Gift campaign delivers magical Christmas moments to children receiving NHS care
A new campaign aims to deliver magical Christmas moments to children and young people across west Wales who are receiving NHS care.
Give a Gift provides the opportunity to donate to patients supported by the Wish Fund, a campaign which creates memorable experiences for children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. Gifts will also be given to other young patients who are in hospital this Christmas or receiving continuing care.
There are a number of ways to support the campaign. Supporters can:
- Take a Wish Fund gift tag from the Dunelm Carmarthen Christmas tree, purchase the present described on the tag, and return to Dunelm by 14th December
- Take part in Christmas Jumper Day on Thursday 11th December and donate £3 by texting WISHFUND 3 to 70085 or by visiting our Christmas Jumper competition page!
- Donate directly to the Wish Fund.
The Wish Fund is delivered by Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, and supported by Scarlets Rugby.
Tara Nickerson, Fundraising Manager, said: “We are asking our local communities to help us make this Christmas as magical as possible for our young patients.
“Give a Gift is a perfect opportunity to purchase something special for a child who is receiving care and treatment - and make their Christmas!”
