Join the Festive Fun for Newcastle Hospitals Charity!

Are you putting up a Christmas tree in your office or workplace this year? Why not turn it into a beacon of support for patients and NHS staff!

Ask your colleagues to

  • Donate the cost of a coffee to hang a special tag on the branches.
  • Fund a festive art pack for a child spending their holidays in hospital.
  • Nominate your business to match every pound raised by the team!
  • Turn it into a gift tree and support The Great North Children’s Hospital.

Other ways to support

There are lots of ways to get your colleagues involved in supporting Newcastle Hospitals Charity over the festive period – here’s just a few ideas.

  • Host a bake sale and test your baking skills with colleagues by inviting team members to bring in festive treats to sell and for those who are a little competitive. You could even add in your very own Bake Off competition to find the best bake!
  • Share a card, and save money on cards this Christmas and leave a festive message for your colleagues on our Christmas wishes poster proudly displayed for everyone to see and sign. Leave a donation on what you would usually spend on cards and never have that embarrassing moment when you awkwardly forget a colleague!
  • Win an extra day off during the festive period. Enjoy an extra day’s annual leave over the festive period this year, perfect for Christmas shopping, visiting Santa or enjoying a festive drink at the pub. Organising a raffle for this star prize to give one lucky employee an extra day off!
  • Christmas jumper day is a Christmas calendar staple, dust off your best festive jumper and make a small donation in exchange for the cosy non-uniform day. You could even have a competition for the best (or worst) dressed.
  • Why not hold a tombola and invite staff to donate prizes or reach out to your business contacts or local businesses to donate prizes you can sell tickets to win to create some fun in the run up to Christmas.
