I am delighted to share with you some ways you can get involved – we really need your help!

NHS Big Tea: Take a break, raise a cuppa, celebrate the NHS and support HHCC! At any time on or around Monday, July 5 we are asking you to bake cakes, eat some scrumptious treats and start brewing a well-deserved cup of tea! 

If hosting a tea party is not for you why not donate the cost of your regular takeout coffee or the price of a cake to HHCC? Email [email protected] to request your fundraising pack.

Stepping up for HHCC – ‘Can you go the distance?’: We are currently walking, jogging and running around the HDFT footprint this spring.
