The Medical Social Department are holding their Annual Christmas Jumper Appeal from 12th to 18th December in order to fundraise for The St. James's Hospital Patient Support Fund. Christmas Jumper day will be on Tuesday 13th December when the Medical Social Workers will be decked out in all their Christmas finery for the occasion.

Please feel free to wear your Christmas jumper too if this is permitted.

The Patient Support Fund allows us to provide necessities for our most vulnerable patients and has been of particular importance this year. During 2021 we purchased clothing and footwear to the value of €7,975. The Social Work Department are dependent on your kind donations to help us provide our homeless and vulnerable populations with warm clothing and we hope we will be able to match the generous donations of years past.
