Supporting families at Christmas

Your donations will help us support families in hospital and away from home this festive season

Your Donation is More Than A Gift this Christmas

 

Children’s Heartbeat Trust will support more than 50 families in hospital and those travelling outside of Northern Ireland for their child’s life saving surgery this Christmas. We will provide financial support of over £13,500 to help reduce the stress of travelling and staying in accommodation.

We make regular ward visits to support families and offer a listening ear. Over the festive period alone, our family support team will make over 120 support visits to families spending time in hospital.

How your donation helps:

£2,500 can support 10 families travelling outside of Northern Ireland for their child’s life saving open heart surgery.

£1,000 can support 20 families facing an extended stay in hospital over the festive period.

£500 can fund a Peer Support Christmas Event making magical moments for children and their families.

£100 can provide festive music therapy to children receiving inpatient care on Clark Clinic

£70 can provide a counselling session to parents or young patients coming to terms with a diagnosis.

£50 can provide financial support to a family facing an extended stay in hospital

£25 can provide sensory play equipment for inpatients on Clark Clinic

Speaking about the support she received, Jozie’s Mum, Nicole comments:

 

We know that Jozie’s heart journey is far from over and that he will need surgery in the future. But we know that Children’s Heartbeat Trust will be there for us every step of the way.
