As a charity that receives no government or NHS funding, your support of CHSF is crucial this Christmas.

There are many ways you can get involved to help, no matter how big or small. See below for 12 ways you can help – pick the options that suit you best!

TELL YOUR STORY

Has your child been in hospital over Christmas? Open a JustGiving page, tell your story and ask for donations to CHSF.

SOCIAL BUTTERFLY

Engage with and share our social media posts so that your friends, family and network can help CHSF too! Do you follow us on…

THINK OF THE PLANET

Ditch sending Christmas Cards this year. Opt for a CHSF Christmas e-card. We have lots of designs to choose from!

FEELING LUCKY?

Have a flutter on CHSF Christmas Prize Draw. We have so many lovely prizes to be won. Only £1 per ticket and a top prize of £500 cash!

FUN-draising

Organise your own raffle! Approach friends, family and local businesses and ask them to donate prizes. Donate the proceeds to CHSF!

GET ACTIVE

Join in with one of CHSF’s festive fundraising challenges. Choose your challenge, sign up and open a JustGiving page to get started.

GET CREATIVE

 Make a decoration for the children’s heart ward. Colour in a bauble and post it back to the ward by 14th December!

GIVE A BEAR HUG

This Christmas, your £10 could ensure every child who has open heart surgery next year receives a Katie Bear teddy.

PRIME TIME

Give back to CHSF while you do your Christmas shopping on Amazon. By using Amazon Smile, CHSF receives a % of your basket!

IT’S YOUR BUSINESS

Talk to your workplace or employer about CHSF and ask whether there is anything they can do to support our charity in 2023.

CARE FOR THE FUTURE

Think ahead and consider leaving a gift in your Will and fund the future of CHSF. You can get started writing a will for free with us.

GIVE REGULARLY

Set up a direct debit to CHSF and make a huge difference to patients and families. You choose how much you give and how often!

Our fundraising team are always on hand to help out and offer ideas or support. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
