Our first Giving Joy donations are in! 🎁

We’ve collected our first batch of gifts from Dunelm Doncaster, and the generosity has already been incredible.

Giving Joy is Dunelm’s Christmas gift appeal, where shoppers can choose a tag from the in-store tree and buy a requested gift to help bring some extra joy to someone locally this Christmas. This year, tags at Dunelm Doncaster include gifts for patients across our hospitals. 🎄

And people have been so generous already! We’ve received a wonderful mix of presents suitable for patients of all ages, which will help make Christmas a little brighter for those spending time in hospital.

If you’d like to take part, simply visit Dunelm Doncaster, choose a tag from the Giving Joy tree and purchase the gift listed.

You can also support our Christmas gifting by choosing something from our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/3SK6P04ZHU6SC/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_4

Or get in touch with our Charity team at [email protected]

A huge thank you to everyone who has already picked a tag and donated. It’s wonderful to see so much kindness being shown to patients across our hospitals this Christmas. 🩷

A huge thank you to the incredible children at St Mary’s Primary School! 🌟

Despite the weather, the pupils and teachers took part in a community litter pick and raised an amazing £695.50 for the Mexborough Montagu Hospital Stroke Rehabilitation Unit. 🩷

Not only did they do something brilliant for their local community, they also raised a fantastic amount to support patients and staff at MMH.

And to recognise their wonderful fundraising, St Mary’s Primary School will have their very own star illuminated at Doncaster Royal Infirmary as part of this year’s Our Shining Stars campaign. ✨

We’re so grateful to every pupil, member of staff, family member and supporter who helped make this possible.

What an amazing achievement; thank you, St Mary’s! 🌟

If your school would like to get involved and fundraise for your local hospitals, we’d love to hear from you! Find out more and Fundraise Your Way:

Did you guess who our special visitor was? 👀🤎

That’s right, the Gruffalo stepped out of the deep dark wood and into Bassetlaw Hospital’s Children’s Assessment Unit, thanks to our friends at Wonderland Bookshop!

Alongside this special visit, Wonderland donated an incredible 200 Gruffalo books for children being cared for across our hospitals. 📚

Their ‘Buy a book, give a book’ scheme meant that every copy of Gruffalo Granny sold helped provide a Gruffalo finger puppet book for a young patient.

A special thank you also goes to the students from North Notts College T Level Childcare course, who visited the unit to fill it with Gruffalo decorations, setting the scene for our special guest! 🌳🐾

Thank you to Wonderland Bookshop, their generous customers, Macmillan Children’s Books and the students for bringing a little storybook magic to our hospitals. ✨

We’re always grateful to see local businesses finding their own ways to support our hospitals. 🏡

Our friends at Albemarle Homes have been brilliant supporters of DBTH Charity, and this year they’re continuing that support in more ways than one.

Alongside sponsoring a star in Our Shining Stars again this Christmas, Albemarle Homes have pledged to donate £100 to DBTH Charity for every home sold at Willow Paddocks in Beckingham.

Every donation helps us fund those extras that can make a real difference to patients, families and staff across Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals, so we’re incredibly thankful for their continued support.

Next week, Albemarle Homes will also be holding their first open event at Willow Paddocks, giving visitors the chance to step inside the nearly completed homes, explore the development and find out more.

📅 Saturday 7th November
⏰ 11am–3pm
📍 Willow Paddocks, Beckingham

Thank you to everyone at Albemarle Homes for continuing to get behind DBTH Charity and helping us make a difference across our hospitals!

What started with one Christmas gift delivery has grown into a brilliant year-round partnership! 🐾 🩷

Over the years, the team at Butternut Box have supported DBTH Charity in so many ways: volunteering at our events, taking on our abseil, bringing festive cheer to Bassetlaw Hospital and giving their time whenever an extra pair of hands is needed.

For many of their team, Bassetlaw Hospital is their local hospital too, making the partnership particularly meaningful.

“As long as you have the heart and ambition to help, amazing things will follow.”

We’re incredibly grateful for everything the Butternut Box team continue to do for our Charity, and we’re very excited to see the partnership grow even further!

A huge thank you to the wonderful residents of Rokeby Gardens in Kirk Sandall! 🧶

A new Monday afternoon knitting circle, led with expert guidance from Michelle Stewart, has been busy creating handmade items for patients and families across our hospitals.

Their generous donations have included:

🩷 Hearts for our End of Life team
🧶 Cardigans, hats and blankets for Neonatal and Maternity services
🧸 Cuddly toys for siblings

Every item has been made with such care and thought, and we’re incredibly grateful to Michelle and all of the residents involved for choosing to support our hospitals in such a special way.

Thank you for putting so much love into every stitch. 🩷
