Give a virtual gift this Christmas

Every Christmas we are grateful to the hundreds of people who donate gifts to our patients young and old across our Oxfordshire hospitals.

This incredible generosity is appreciated by us all, but, because of Coronavirus, we have had to make some changes in our hospitals. So sadly toy drops to the Oxford Children's Hospital and gifts to other hospital areas will not be possible this year.

Of course we still want to ensure that Christmas is still a magical season for all in hospital, and so this year we are asking you to make a donation so that we can purchase toys and gifts for patients young, and old over the festive season.

Thank you for supporting your local hospitals

We’re all aware that our NHS comes under increased pressure during the winter months. With the extra challenges your local hospitals have been facing in 2020, things are likely to be even more difficult this year. That’s why your support is more important than ever. Your gift today will not only support hospital staff to care for patients who need to be admitted to hospital, but will enable some patients who may be at particular risk from COVID-19 to continue receiving treatment.
