Proudly presenting our “Christmas Wishes” 2024 appeal video!
This festive season, Children’s Heart Surgery Fund (CHSF) is proud to unveil our brand-new video for the “CHSF Christmas Wishes” appeal! Inspired by the classic ‘12 Days of Christmas’, this fun and festive film shines a light on the vital services and projects we support for the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit (LCHU).
Our goal? To raise £12,000 this Christmas to ensure we can continue funding these life-changing services into 2025. Each “wish” in the campaign highlights how past donations have made a real difference to patients, families, and NHS staff. Our biggest wish this Christmas is to keep that incredible support going strong!
Filmed with the help of staff, patients, and families from the LCHU and across our region, this video is packed with festive cheer – and even features a special surprise.
CHSF’s new incoming CEO, Ruth Davany, makes her on-screen debut singing her heart out for the appeal video… on her very first day in post!
CHSF’s Head of Marketing, Andy McNally said:
“We are so grateful to everyone who helped bring this campaign to life – from the dedicated NHS staff and our amazing children and families to our very own CHSF team. It was heartwarming to see so many people come together to celebrate and support our cause. I hope our supporters enjoy watching the video, have a giggle, and most importantly, feel inspired to give generously to this year’s appeal.”
You can watch our CHSF Christmas Wishes video here and don’t forget to share it with friends and family! Every share, like, and donation helps us get closer to our fundraising goal!
Donate now to the appeal and help make our Christmas Wishes come true for 2025! Thank you.
