For many people, Christmas is a time to celebrate with family and friends. But for patients spending the festive season in hospital, being away from loved ones can make an already difficult time even harder.
MTW Hospitals Charity's Joy to the wards appeal aims to make Christmas a little brighter for patients and staff across Maidstone Hospital, Tunbridge Wells Hospital and Fordcombe Hospital.
Money raised through the appeal will help provide Christmas gifts for patients spending Christmas Day in hospital, comfort and wellbeing items for wards, and equipment and improvements that enhance patient care throughout the year.
The charity is also delighted to have the support of local business Express Taxis Kent, who have generously pledged to match donations pound for pound, up to a total of £1,000, helping every gift make an even greater difference.
Whether it's £10 towards a Christmas gift for a patient or a larger donation to support improvements to hospital care, every contribution can help make a meaningful difference.
The appeal will run until 31 January 2027, giving supporters the opportunity to contribute throughout the festive season and into the new year.
