Help us bring comfort, joy, and festive cheer to our patients and families this Christmas.

This Christmas, we’re inviting our corporate partners to join us in creating magical moments for those spending the festive season at Woodlands Hospice. For many of our patients and their loved ones, this time of year takes on a deeper meaning; it's about sharing smiles, memories, and comfort when they matter most. With your support, we can fill our wards with warmth, laughter, and light.

Your company can make a real difference by sponsoring one of our special Christmas gifts:

• Create a Memory - £15 Help us create treasured keepsakes and moments for patients and families to hold onto forever.
• Christmas Meal - £25 Give a patient the joy of a traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, a taste of home, shared with love.
• Reiki or Reflexology Session - £40 Bring comfort and calm through soothing complementary therapies that lift spirits and ease pain.
• Personalised Comfort Pack - £50 Add a sprinkle of Christmas magic with a bespoke comfort pack filled with thoughtful touches and festive treats.
• Counselling Session - £60 Offer the gift of emotional support, helping patients and families find strength and peace during the holidays.
• Feed the Ward - £350 Unite your team to fund a full Christmas Day meal for every patient and staff member on the ward, together you’ll make the day truly special for everyone at Woodlands.

To make giving easy and engaging, we’ve created our “Gift of Giving” Bauble Tags, beautifully designed ornaments featuring one of the above gifts and its donation amount. You can hang these baubles on your company Christmas tree to inspire staff to choose a gift and donate. When a donation is made, replace the bauble with a shimmering “Thank You” tag to celebrate your team’s kindness. Each tag will include a short description and a QR code linking directly to our donation page.

We’re also encouraging local businesses to take part in some festive giving ideas to spread even more joy. You could set up a Gift Tree or Reverse Advent Calendar, where departments collect items that our patients and families need most over the Christmas period.

Another way to make spirits bright is by helping us stock our famous Tipple Trolley, a cherished daily tradition at the Hospice that brings smiles and festive cheer to our wards. Donations of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are warmly welcomed to keep this beloved tradition alive.

You might also like to set up a Corporate Match Fund, doubling the impact of your team’s generosity.

Every act of kindness, no matter the size, helps us make Christmas a time of warmth, comfort, and togetherness for those in our care. Your support brings light to our Hospice, turning ordinary moments into precious memories.
