We are always grateful for the inspiring and thoughtful messages we receive from our local community at this time of year.

Do take a moment, if you can, to read some of the special words that have accompanied donations to Oxford Hospitals Charity this Christmas

‘My son was a patient on the Bellhouse-Drayson ward two years ago and he received a beautiful gift early Christmas morning, keeping that magic alive! I would love to help someone else have the same experience we did even when times can be tough being in hospital at Christmas.’

 

 

‘My grandson was a patient when he was a few months old. He is now 5ft 8ins tall - a basket ball player, a bass guitar player, a very good cook and a-big follower of football. The care and attention he received on Tom’s Ward was exceptional at this worrying time. I would like to say a big thank you to all the dedicated nurses and doctors who day in and day out give of their expertise and care to all their young patients.’

‘Our very best wishes go to everyone who may be in need of care.’

She received such a special stocking and it meant a lot to us when we couldn’t have her home with us and her big brother.
