Christmas decoration competition

December 13, 2023

Christmas is fast approaching, the charity has been busy making plans for the festive season. We’ll be putting up our Christmas trees at the Birmingham Treatment Centre on the City site, and at Sandwell General Hospital and Rowley Regis Hospital.

We are also encouraging colleagues to get involved again in our Christmas decorating competition for wards. Each ward/department is able to claim up to £30 once, which will be available up to 12pm on 20 December, before judges visit on 21 and 22 December.

Wards/departments need to provide receipts of their expenditure along with their ward/department name, to their nearest cash office. Wards/departments will need to ensure they have not experienced a COVID-19 outbreak in the last seven days before entering the competition. If they do experience a COVID-19 outbreak whilst decorations are on display, these will need to be taken down and disposed of safely.

To help fund this ongoing support during the festive season, Your Trust Charity would like to invite you to participate in their virtual Santa Dash this year. You are welcome to do a fun run in festive fancy dress, with your colleagues, friends, or family up to 25th Dec, and post your photos on the charity’s social media @swbhcharity and anyone raising a minimum £100 will have the opportunity for their name to be printed in Garden of Gratitude at the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital.
