Christmas at the Trust: Christmas Jumper Day – 11 December
December 2, 2020
Our community’s generous support helps us to bring the magic of Christmas into our hospitals. Its a joy to see the smiles on the faces of our patients and staff during this special time.
Being a patient in hospital is never easy, but not having family around you at Christmas is going to be difficult for our patients this year more than ever.
As you are all aware, 2020 has been a challenging year for the NHS.
So this festive season we need your support more than ever to bring the magic of Christmas to those in our care at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust. Whether that’s helping to fund treats for our patients and staff to enjoy on Christmas Day, or projectors to brighten up our hospitals, your support can make a difference.
You can also get involved this year by joining us in Festive Jumper Day on Friday 11 December. 
Don’t worry if you don’t have a jumper, you can wear festive accessories, such as headband, tie, earring or socks instead. All we ask is you donate £2 to our campaign.
Text YTCJUMPERDAY to 70085 to donate £2. Texts cost £2 plus one standard rate message and you’ll be opting in to hear more about our work and fundraising via telephone and SMS. If you’d like to give £2 but do not wish to receive marketing communications, text YTCJUMPERDAYNOINFO to 70085.
Your donations will make a huge difference for our patients who are with us over Christmas. To donate please visit www.justgiving.com/campaign/SWBChristmas2020
