As the NHS prepares for a challenging Winter, Dorset County Hospital Charity is launching its Christmas Appeal to raise vital funds to support patient care and staff well-being.

During the Christmas period Dorset County Hospital will be there to care for all patients. For patients in hospital at Christmas, missing family and friends is always difficult. DCH Charity's Christmas Appeal will harness the power of giving to support our patients and NHS staff at Christmas and throughout the year.

Your support will ensure DCH Charity can provide valuable funding to enhance patient care across Dorset County Hospital's specialist areas such as Cancer Care; Elderly Care; Stroke; Maternity and Critical Care, whilst our hard-working NHS staff also care for Covid patients. We will also fund further initiatives to support the well-being and resilience of DCH staff.

Give the gift of care this Christmas and help Dorset County Hospital as we work together and look forward with hope to a better 2021. Thank you. W

We can also accept donations by post - please send cheques made out to 'DCH Charity Christmas Appeal' to: DCH Charity, Dorset County Hospital, Williams Avenue, Dorchester, Dorset. DT1 2JY. You can also contact us by emailing: charity@dchft.nhs.uk
