AN NHS charity has launched its Christmas fundraising campaign, all to raise money for Victoria Infirmary.

Mid Cheshire Hospitals (MCH) Charity has planned a range of activities for businesses and families to get involved in, with all proceeds going towards the charity’s Victoria Infirmary Northwich (VIN) appeal.

The appeal aims to raise £100k to create a dedicated children’s waiting area and fund other projects to improve patient care and experience.

MCH Charity’s events kicks off with a Christmas Fair at Crewe Market Hall on Saturday, November 26.

The next event is Wear it Festive on Thursday, December 8, which is the perfect opportunity for everyone to show off their Christmas jumpers, dresses, socks, hats, or ties.

Everyone is invited to dress up and donate £2 - donations can be made on the MCH Charity website, by bank transfer, or via cheque.

Festivi-Tea! day is also on December 8 (or any day over the Christmas period).

This new activity for 2022 encourages family, friends, or colleagues to get together to enjoy a tea party and some festive treats, whilst supporting the charity by making a donation.

Please contact the charity for a fundraising pack.

Finally, MCH Charity is holding its annual Christmas raffle.

The draw will take place on Tuesday, December 20, and tickets are available for £2 each.

This year, the fantastic prizes on offer include a refurbished Apple MacBook Pro worth £700, a Bentley experience factory tour, bed and breakfast for two guests with use of the leisure facilities and spa at Rookery Hall, a £50 apple voucher, and a £40 Hickories voucher!

Tickets are available now on the MCH Charity website, or from the shop at Leighton Hospital.
