2020 has been a difficult year for many of us, especially for those who work in the NHS or regularly use NHS services.

Throughout 2020 our charity has worked to support patients and staff, for example providing care packages for staff and issuing tablets on our wards so patients can video call loved ones who were unable to visit them. All of this and much more is made possible by the generosity of the general public giving to us and fundraising for us.

Following 2020 many of us will be setting ourselves health goals in the new year, whether its to exercise more, stop smoking, drink less alcohol or eat a healthier diet. It is often said that it is easier to achieve these goals if you have the support of others and have a target to aim for.

So, if you are setting yourself goals for 2021 why not get your friends involved and help us to support NHS staff and patients?

Set yourself an achievable target, such as; no chocolate in January 2021 or walk two miles a day until March 2021. Create yourself a fundraising page linked to this campaign, share it with your friends and family, getting them to sponsor you to achieve your goal, you can keep them updated on your progress through your fundraising page.

We are not setting specific targets for fundraisers and are grateful for every penny raised.
