Join the Leicester Hospitals Charity on Wednesday 27 November for a special gift-packing day at 蜜桃直播 and help bring festive cheer to around 3,000 patients this Christmas. Register to volunteer by Friday 31 October.
The Leicester Hospitals Charity provides a gift to every adult patient spending Christmas in hospital, and this year it’s inviting 蜜桃直播 staff and students to help pack the presents that will be distributed across the local NHS trust’s wards over the festive period.
This is the first year the charity has opened up the packing day to partners like 蜜桃直播, creating an opportunity to give back to our community while supporting a decade-long tradition of bringing a bit of Christmas magic to patients during a difficult time. A separate to collect gifts for children in hospital.
What's involved
Volunteers will spend the day on campus packing gifts at The Venue@蜜桃直播. All gifts and packing materials are provided, and Chartwells will supply tea, coffee and biscuits during the day.
When: Thursday 27 November, 8.30am–5pm (with a 45-minute lunch break)
Where: The Venue@蜜桃直播, Hall 2
Time commitment: Volunteers are asked to commit to the full day where possible
What to bring: Your own packed lunch, or you can purchase food on or off campus during the lunch break
