Blue Skies, our local NHS Charity, are asking for your help to ensure that every patient waking up on Christmas morning in a hospital in Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre receives a gift.

With ages ranging from 0 to 100 and covering more than 40 wards, this is no small feat! It’s made possible through the collective efforts of generous donations from local residents, local companies and members of the Hospitals’ dedicated staff.

Blue Skies particularly ask for unwrapped gifts suitable for an adult male or female (but no alcohol or food). On their list of suggested gifts are: toiletries, hats, scarves, games & puzzles, colouring books and stationery.  A brilliant short You Tube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sWjzFdJu6w)  shares how you can help whilst the poster below gives more details.

Meanwhile other brilliant festive Blue Skies events are also signposted in the posters below.  These include the Sponsored Walkies for the Wards around the grounds of Lytham Hall, the Tree of Lights appeal, the Elf Run and the BIG Blue Skies Christmas Raffle.
