SIGN UP NOW!Why Festive Socks?
Not all staff can wear Christmas jumpers with their uniform, but they can wear festive socks. This December, we are asking schools, community groups, workplaces, friends and families to join our docs in festive socks and help raise vital funds for your hospital.
By taking part this year, your support will make a real difference. Your donations help fund vital research and innovation across the hospital, including seed funding for personalised breast cancer treatments that are more effective and have fewer side effects. You also help bring joy to young patients through visits from Giggle Doctors, and reduce anxiety for children undergoing procedures like MRI scans through therapeutic play.
Pull on a pair, donate, and show you care – Thank you!
