Christmas Activites 2011
Christmas Wrapping
Once again The Children’s Foundation offered to take some of the stress out of Christmas and teamed up with Eldon Square to offer a Christmas gift wrap service.
From Friday 16th December to Saturday 24th December The Children’s Foundation along with a team of volunteers hosted the gift wrapping stand in Eldon Square making a total of £2298. Thanks to all the companies who donated wrapping paper and all the volunteers that helped out.
Santa’s Letter
Bring a smile to a child’s face this Christmas by completing the application form and sending it back to us by Friday 10th December with a cheque for £3 (per child) and your child will receive a personalised letter from the big man himself.
Christmas Greetings Poster
Take the hassle out of sending Christmas cards to your work colleagues and help The Children’s Foundation at the same time by signing up for our Christmas Greetings Poster scheme.
You will receive a Christmas poster for all of your staff to write their messages on in return for a donation. If you would like to receive a Christmas poster please contact nicola.rose2@nuth.nhs.uk
Carol Singing
Throughout December The Children’s Foundation and local schools and choirs sang Christmas carols in Eldon Square, The Bridges Sunderland and the Metro Centre. From 14 different time slots we raised a total of £2155.89. Thanks to all the choirs and schools which were involved as well as all the friends and family that came down to support.
Festive Fundraising
Christmas is the ideal time to get together with friends or work colleagues and raise money for a good cause.
Have a Christmas themed dress down day in the office or a Christmas bake sale and donate the money raised to The Children’s Foundation.
Instead of corporate Christmas cards send an email and donate the money that you would have spent to The Children’s Foundation.
If you would like any further information please contact libby.nolan@nuth.nhs.uk.
