At Christmas we welcome the opportunity to catch up with friends and family who we may not see that often through the year. It's also an opportunity to give back and help others who are not so fortunate to have people around them this Christmas. The staff at St Luke's Hospital really make the day special for all our patients and residents who we will be sharing Christmas with this year.

And you can play your part in making Christmas for those in our care. You can make a donation as a gift to St Luke's Hospital to help us support more people who need nursing or rehabilitation now and into the future.

You might like to sponsor a physiotherapy session for someone who no longer has as much mobility as they did in the earlier life. Or you might like to help us provide supplies for our activities room; often a place where people go to express their feelings or emotions when they may be struggling. We also need to buy equipment that can cost thousands of pounds, but we know will provide a huge difference to patients needing specialist support.

Whatever gift you decide to give to St Luke's Hospital this Christmas, every penny and every pound that you donate will make a difference to someone in our care.
