Brompton Children's Christmas Appeal 2026
Gift a child a real Christmas on the ward
This Christmas, 90 families will have children in a hospital bed, many receiving end-of-life care, meaning a family Christmas on a hospital ward at the Royal Brompton, Evelina and Harefield hospitals. With our friends at The Brompton Fountain, we want every one of them to have a proper Christmas.

I've spent a fair bit of time at the Royal Brompton having lung surgeries and procedures. Along the way I made friends with the brilliant imaging team there, and I saw up close the care they give, day in and day out.
I wanted WayMaker to stand with them this Christmas, and with the children and families on their wards. That's how this appeal was born. I'd love you to be part of it.

Christmas on the ward
Nobody plans to spend Christmas by a hospital bed
For these families, Christmas means a children's ward. Mums and dads sleeping in chairs. Brothers and sisters visiting when they can. For some, it will be their child's last Christmas. We can't change why they're there, but together we can make sure the day still feels like Christmas.

Give Christmas
Make Christmas happen for a family on the ward
Give £75 for one family, or whatever you can. Every gift goes towards Christmas for children and families at the Royal Brompton, Evelina and Harefield hospitals.
UK taxpayer? Tick Gift Aid and HMRC adds 25p to every £1 you give. That turns £75 into £93.75, at no extra cost to you.
