Season’s Greetings and warm wishes from us all at NHS Grampian Charity. We hope this message finds you in good health and festive spirits.

Christmas is such a special time for people to spend with their loved ones, having fun and enjoying some festive cheer. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to spend Christmas at home or with those closest to them, and many people will wake up on Christmas morning in hospital surrounded by health and care colleagues instead of family and friends.

With your support, we can change that by providing the little extras that bring some Christmas cheer to patients who are spending their time in hospital this year.

You can get involved by requesting our National 'Elf Service Pack, which is full of fun and festive fundraising ideas or you can choose to donate in lieu of Christmas cards and we can send an electronic thank you message to send to family & friends or post on social media.

Whatever you choose to do, your support is appreciated and ensures that we can continue to improve the health and wellbeing of people across Grampian.
