Shining Stars – to celebrate or give thanks

This Christmas, say thank you, celebrate someone special, or show your support for your local NHS by dedicating a Shining Star.

Perhaps a member of NHS staff made a real difference to you or someone you love. Maybe you'd like to celebrate the arrival of a new baby or recognise someone special this Christmas. Or your business or organisation would like to show its support for local patients, families and NHS staff.

Whatever your reason, your personalised star will be displayed at Leighton Hospital throughout the festive season, helping to create a wonderful display of thanks, celebration and support.

And every star will help MCH Charity make a difference in the moments that matter for people using our hospitals and community services.

What could my star say?

Your dedication can be up to 14 words, so keep it short, personal and meaningful.

You could say:

  • Thank you to Ward 10 for the wonderful care you gave our family.
  • For Sarah – thank you for making such a difference when we needed you most.
  • Welcome to the world [baby's name]
  • Thank you to the midwives for helping bring our precious baby into the world.
  • To all the team – thank you for everything you do.
  • Wishing patients, families and NHS staff a very happy Christmas from [Company Name].

Or simply write your own message, it's your star, so make it personal to you.

Shine a light for your local NHS

Whichever star you choose, your support will help MCH Charity fund the extras that make a difference to the care and experience of patients, their loved ones and NHS staff.

Choose your star, add your personal message and help us fill the hospital with Shining Stars this Christmas.
