🎄 The Up & Out Christmas Drop 🎄

Bringing joy, connection, and creativity to hospitals, care homes, and older people in the community this Christmas.

Every Christmas, we deliver Up & Out activity books to hospitals, care homes, and older people in the community - a heartfelt project designed to uplift, engage, and spark joy for those spending the festive season in care homes, hospital, or at home.

They can be enjoyed solo (with a cuppa and a biscuit, of course!) or shared with carers, family, or friends. However it’s done, the goal’s the same - to bring a little light, laughter, and movement into the day.

💖 About the Up & Out Activity Book

The Up & Out activity books are packed with ways to keep minds and bodies moving gently, joyfully, and with a dash of Christmas cheer. Whether it’s some light rehab, a memory game, or balloon badminton for all the family (a bit of competition at Christmas never hurt anyone!), each activity is designed to lift spirits and build connection.

Perfect for: Care homes, Hospital wards, Rehabilitation unit or anyone who loves a good Christmas giggle at home

It’s a stress-free way to add a little sparkle and purpose to the holidays.

🎁 Inside You’ll Find:

🧘 Easy, low-impact exercises & social games - including gentle rehabilitation activities to help hospital patients regain strength and independence for discharge.

🧠 Memory games & creative prompts - to give the brain a cheerful little workout.

🎨 Comic-style colouring pages - no art degree required!

💬 Conversation starters & “get-to-know-me” pages - perfect for a cuppa and a chat.

🎅 A festive comic adventure - starring the Up & Out crew, guaranteed to raise a smile.

🌿 Outdoor activity ideas - for anyone brave enough to face the British winter! Wrap up warm!

Printed in black & white for easy colouring and mindful creativity.

❤️ How You Can Help

This is a self-funded community project that runs all year round but at Christmas, we ask for a little extra help so we can reach even more people.

Last year, thanks to your generosity, we raised £150 enough to reach care homes and hospital wards across the area.

🎯 This year, we’re aiming to raise £300, so we can cover even more hospital wards and care homes, spreading that Christmas cheer a little further.

Every penny goes directly toward printing and delivering the books.

🎄 Join Us in Spreading Christmas Cheer

On the run-up to Christmas (and yes, even on Christmas Day!), we’ll be out delivering the books to hospitals and care homes - making sure no one is forgotten this festive season.

Your support, no matter how small, helps us make the season brighter for those spending Christmas in care or hospital.

Let’s keep spirits Up & Out this year - one page, one smile, and one mince pie at a time.

✨ Thank you for helping us stay active, stay connected, and spark joy this Christmas. ✨
