This year, our beloved mascot Aati turns ONE! Over the past year, he has brought smiles, energy, and joy to countless events while helping raise awareness and support for the Dudley Group NHS Charity.

Instead of presents or cake, we’re asking you to help us celebrate in the best way possible — by giving the gift of support to the charity. Every donation made in honour of Aati's birthday will go directly towards funding our vital work.

How your donation can help:

• £1 could help provide small comforts for patients, making their hospital stay a little brighter.

• £2 could contribute to wellbeing resources for staff, helping them recharge during busy shifts.

• £5 could support patient activity packs, making their hospital stay go by a bit faster.

And when lots of people join in:

• 50 people giving £1 = £50 — enough to provide a set of comfort packs for patients on a ward.

• 100 people giving £2 = £200 — enough to fund staff wellbeing resources for an entire team.

• 20 people giving £5 = £100 — enough to support therapeutic activities that aid patient recovery.

Every donation, big or small, helps us do more. Let’s make Aati's first birthday one to remember — together we can turn small birthday gifts into a big impact!
