“Your donations mean more to us than just a donation. It means that someone returning home from hospital with a chest, heart or stroke condition this winter can get the help and support that they need when they need it most.

“Christmas can be a lonely time for some and we want to be there for people living with our conditions in your community so anything you can donate, or any purchase you make, can help people to do more than survive.”
