WHH Charity brings Christmas cheer to patients and families this festive season
This December, WHH Charity is welcoming the holiday season with a host of initiatives to spread joy and comfort to patients, staff, and families at Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals (WHH). With festivities around every corner, WHH Charity invites you to join in the Christmas spirit and help bring smiles to those spending the Christmas period in hospital this year.
The holiday season, a time for reflection as much as celebration, can be particularly challenging for patients and their loved ones in the hospital. Our Christmas activities aim to raise spirits this time of year.
Christmas toy and gift appeal – bringing joy to patients spending Christmas in hospital
The WHH Charity Christmas toy and gift appeal is here, raising spirits for Warrington and Halton patients. For those spending the holidays in hospital, a small gift can make a big difference. We invite you to donate a new, unwrapped gift (up to £7.50 in value) to bring a smile to someone in our care this Christmas.
