Christmas at Broomfield Hospital promises to be bigger and better
this year as we hold our first ever present drop on Saturday 7th
December.
If you’d like to make a donation to the hospital, come along to the
main hospital atrium from 10am – 2pm and get into the Christmas
spirit.
At midday, the motorcycling Santas of the Dengie and South Essex
Bikers will be arriving from Burnham-on-Crouch to donate toys to
Phoenix children’s ward, and at 2pm the fantastic Funky Voices choir
will be here to entertain everyone with renditions of festive favourites.
Nobody wants to be away from home for Christmas and some patients
may not have families to visit them. By purchasing a present for
someone spending Christmas in hospital, you can help spread cheer
and bring smiles to faces on Christmas morning.
If you want to give something to a ward or department at Broomfield
but are not sure what to buy, this year we are asking for gifts for our
elderly patients. Washbags and toiletries, puzzle and colouring books,
and socks would all be perfect presents for our senior citizens.
If you’d prefer to purchase something for patients on our children’s
wards, any PG or U-rated DVDs, colouring books or infant
development toys would be gratefully received.
Charlotte Jefcoate, fundraising coordinator for Mid Essex Hospitals
Charity, said: “Every year we receive wonderful donations from
individuals, businesses and our community of fundraisers. I’d like to
invite everyone who is thinking about giving to the hospital along on
the first Saturday in December.
“The charity team and the Friends at Broomfield will be in the atrium,
so please pop in, say hello, and help make a patient’s Christmas.”
