Because no one should feel forgotten at Christmas.

While many of us gather with loved ones, thousands of patients across Greater Manchester will spend Christmas in hospital. For them, the festive season can feel isolating, quiet, and far from home.

You can change that.

What is “Care this Christmas”?

Care this Christmas is NorthCare Charity’s annual Christmas campaign, bringing comfort and joy to patients in our hospitals. With your help, we deliver thoughtful gifts to those spending the holidays in care, from children in paediatrics to older adults in long-term wards.
