Lincolnshire hospitals Christmas Stars Switch-On

Lincoln County Hospital, Grantham and District Hospital and Pilgrim Hospital, Boston, will once again sparkle with festive stars this Christmas, welcoming patients, visitors, and staff throughout the season. 

These stars are a beacon of joy for thousands of hospital staff, patients and visitors as they arrive or leave United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust sites each day.

Join us for the grand switch-on at Lincoln County Hospital, Maternity Block on Monday 1 Deember at 5pm.

The stars are being kindly sponsored by local businesses who want to support their local NHS. Every penny raised will help United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity transform healthcare for patients, their families and the incredible staff who care for them.

Charity Manager, Ben Petts said: “We know these stars will once again give our workforce and visitors that added bit of Christmas cheer when they visit hospital. Christmas is a busy time for us. We will be giving a present to every patient waking up in our hospitals on Christmas morning.

“We will be providing a festive feast for colleagues who are working over the festive period and offering a Christmas dinner for all our volunteers who have so generously given us their time during the year.”

So far sponsors for this year include Tesco Extra Wragby Road Store, P & HS Architects and East Kirkby Engineering at Boston.

Ben added: “We still have stars available for local businesses to sponsor so please get in touch with us if you would like to help spread some festive cheer and make a real difference this Christmas.”
