Help us to enhance facilities, advance medical knowledge and improve the physical and mental health of patients and staff all year round by giving back to your local NHS this Christmas.

You can give back by:

- Making a donation to our appeal. All donations will be allocated to our unrestricted general fund to allow us to direct support to where it is needed most. Whether that's purchasing advanced equipment, delivering extra training to staff, creating family-friendly care environments or funding innovative medical research.

- Swapping paper cards for eCards this Christmas. Visit DontSendMeACard to choose from our various designs, make a donation and send your cards to colleagues and loved ones.

- Take part in Festive Friday! On the 9th of December staff across our services will be celebrating the Christmas season and supporting our charity by adding a festive flare to their outfit - whether thats swapping office wear for a full reindeer costume or sneaking subtle snowflake socks beneath their uniform. Join in the fun and host your own festive Friday or similar dress down day in your office or school, set up a fundraising page from this campaign, and collect a small donation from everyone who participates.

- Quizmas! We have put together a Christmas-tastic quiz for our teams to take on virtually or in person. You too can get in on a little festive competition by downloading our Quizmas resources from our website - a voluntary donation would be gratefully received.

On behalf of SCFT staff, volunteers and patients, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued generous support and wish you a very merry Christmas and happy New Year.
