This Christmas, you can bring magic to a child in hospital

Your kind Christmas gift could make all the difference to a seriously ill child in hospital

Imagine being a child in hospital. You may be far from home, feeling frightened, in pain, and unsure of what comes next. And facing all that at Christmas means missing out on festive fun with friends. No pantomimes, no carol concerts, no parties. Just long, quiet days on the ward.

But your gift could help to brighten those days with something small, simple… and truly magical. 

A brand new book.

Amelia reads 'Robodog' by David Walliams.

For a child in hospital, a book is more than pages and pictures. It’s a joyful distraction, a doorway to adventure, a comforting friend. It can help a child feel brave, strong, and just a little less alone.

“The best thing about Read for Good books and Storytellers is all the moments (and they happen every day) that a child is lifted with the joy of a story” Gail Beaumonts, Sheffield Children’s Hospital

Your donation of just £10, will mean we can share the joy of a book with even more children this year.

We know Christmas is a busy – and often expensive – time of year. But choosing to give just one more gift could mean the world to a child who needs a moment of escape, hope, and joy. 

What an incredible gift to give this Christmas.
