Each year we look for the perfect gifts for our friends and family, and to make life easier we have four simple ideas on ways you can give a gift that matters this Christmas!

Presents are a way we can show we care for others and if you are looking to buy something that could be eco-friendly or meaningful, look no further. We have created a guide on how you could support your local Hospice and give a loved one an alternative gift to make them smile 💚

  1. A virtual gift Give a Gift 

Buy an alternative gift with a donation to support meaningful activities for local patients and their loved ones! 

  • Your £5 donation could pay for a tipple of prosecco and a mince pie as a patient receives care in their own home this Christmas 
  • Your £20 donation could pay for a Christmas present for a child receiving bereavement support through our Forget Me Not Centre 

For your donation, you can choose a digital or printed card with the details of your gift, which you can send to a friend or loved one. All four gift options are available here
