Heartbeat: Your Trust Charity have once again teamed up with Mission Christmas

December 22, 2021

Our charity team were invited to the Fort, Birmingham to select a variety of Christmas presents for our younger patients. The presents were donated as part of Mission Christmas, a gift appeal set-up by grant-giving charity, Cash for Kids.

Cash for Kids set up Mission Christmas with one clear mission – a mission to ensure disadvantaged children wake up to something under the tree on Christmas morning. The charity helps children that need it most across the Midlands and aims to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in our communities who are affected by poverty, illness, neglect or have additional needs.

The presents will be delivered to patients who will be in our hospitals during the festive period to help bring a little joy and cheer during their visit. Additional presents will also be distributed amongst the local community to support our most vulnerable children and young people.

Amanda Winwood, Fundraising Manager said: “We are overwhelmed at the support received again this year, to see what our community far and wide can do to help make the most magical time of the year even more special for our youngest patients in hospital warms my heart. Being in hospital anytime for a child is daunting but Christmas is a time to be with family and friends so for us to be able to bring Christmas to their hospital bed is fantastic. A huge thank you to everyone in the community and local businesses who have supported Mission Christmas, you will most certainly bring a smile to children on Christmas day”.
