Letters to Santa
The Letters to Santa campaign will return for another year throughout December, offering a magical way for families and supporters to get involved while raising funds for MY Hospitals Charity. This much-loved initiative has run successfully for the past two years and continues to bring festive joy to children and their families.
If you wish to take part you can express your interest using the link below. Santa asks we then send you a short form to complete with some details. We know he sees all but documenting is very important!
Each letter costs £5, posting to the North Pole isn't cheap! All proceeds are going directly to MY Hospitals Charity to help enhance patient care and staff wellbeing across the Trust.
The Letters to Santa campaign is a heart-warming way to spread festive cheer, engage supporters of all ages, and raise vital funds during the Christmas season.
Make sure to express your interest here before the 12th of December!
