Raising a Smile for Christmas appeal launches to bring joy to patients across LPT

12 Nov 2025

Christmas has officially arrived at LPT, and with it, our Raising a Smile for Christmas appeal is now live! 

This heart-warming campaign brings festive cheer to 600 patients across 37 of our inpatient units, including mental health units, community hospitals wards, and children’s services. For many, the gift they receive from us may be the only one they open this year. 

We’re calling on our community, individual donors and businesses, to help us fill our wards with warmth, light, and smiles. Whether through donations, fundraising, or gift-in-kind support, every contribution helps us create magical moments for those spending Christmas away from home. 

Ways to get involved: 
• Make an online donation 
• Host a festive fundraiser 
• Donate suitable gifts (please contact us first) 
• Sponsor our Christmas Tree competition 

This campaign is a true team effort, powered by partners, donors, volunteers, front-line staff, and drivers who help wrap and deliver gifts across our sites. And now, you can be part of it.

Let’s make this Christmas unforgettable — one smile at a time.
