Spread festive cheer with East Cheshire NHS Charity this Christmas

As the festive season approaches, East Cheshire NHS Charity is calling on the local community to help spread some holiday cheer by participating in their Christmas fundraising initiatives.

Starting on Monday 4th November and running until Monday 9th December, the charity has launched its Christmas Appeal which aims to raise funds to support the vital work of East Cheshire NHS Trust.

As part of the appeal, there are several ways that staff, the local community and businesses can get involved:

Wear something festive – maybe it’s the traditional Christmas knit, socks or earrings, or maybe you go full elf!  Whatever you decide, don your festive gear, donate £1, and help us support your local hospital.

So, dig out your best festive clothing or accessories on Thursday 12th December (or a date that suits you), donate £1 to your local NHS charity here.

Knitted Appeal

We’re calling on all knitters (or crocheters), both seasoned and new, to join our special knitting appeal for chocolate orange cosies! These delightful little covers not only add a festive touch to a classic treat but also bring warmth and joy to those who receive them.

There are no restrictions on the design for the knitted pattern, we just ask that it fits a chocolate orange.

Please send all knitted designs to:

Fundraising Department, New Alderley House, Victoria Road, Macclesfield, Cheshire, SK10 3BL. 

Weekly Lottery

Participate in our weekly lottery, where every purchase brings you a chance to win fantastic prizes while supporting a cause that truly matters. 

By joining you’ll be in with a chance to win up to £25,000 each week while directly contributing to your local NHS charity. Sign up here.
