Following last year’s successful National Elf Service campaign to help spread Christmas joy to children and medical elderly patients, the National Elf Service is back for 2023!

Members of our communities, local businesses and fundraisers who would like to help spread the festive cheer to patients Hull Hospitals cared for over the festive period and beyond, are being encouraged this Christmas to “Help the NHS with the WISHH National Elf Service!” Appeal.

For your fundraising pack or to register your interest, contact the WISHH team by emailing abby.wardill@nhs.net and/or lisa.whitton3@nhs.net or calling on 01482 622299. If you would like to get involved but support specific areas of the hospital, please feel free to get in contact and we can discuss this.

Cheques made payable to “WISHH Charity” can be posted to WISHH National Elf Service Appeal, WISHH Charity, First Floor Admin Block, Castle Hill Hospital, Castle Road, Hull, HU16 5JQ. If you would prefer to donate via bacs transfer, we can happily help with this if you call or email on our details above. We look forward to spreading some Christmas magic this December!

We have also launched our Christmas WISHHes, where one of our WISHH Stars can be personalised with a message and displayed on trees at Hull Royal Infirmary or Castle Hill Hospital, at home or in the workplace! The £5 Christmas Star donation will help us bring joy to children and medical elderly patients this Christmas. Get in contact if you would like to purchase a star or discuss how your workplace or organisation can get involved!
