Starlight to return this Christmas at DBTH

We want our hospital buildings to shine with starlight this December once again, in tribute to the efforts of NHS heroes throughout the year, as well as in memory of those we have sadly lost.

A variety of stars, of all shapes and sizes are now available to sponsor in time for the festive period. The illuminations will be safely secured to the buildings which make up local hospitals within the area, each bearing a special message from their respective sponsor. At night, they will begin to shine, the filling the immediate area with seasonal starlight.

Last year over 60 local businesses, organisations and families got involved, each donating anywhere from £300 to £1,500 to sponsor a star, and in the process raising over £30,000 which has been directly reinvested into patient care, treatment and facilities at the Trust.

Sponsors last year included a number of generous local families, individuals and schools, as well as the following businesses and organisations: DFS who were the headline sponsors of the event, Greencore, Polypipe, DAC Beachcroft, Ye Olde Bell, Tusker Direct, OLS Ltd, Star Commercials, Doncaster Chamber, the Fred and Ann Green Legacy Fund, Doncaster College, Prospect Hill Post Office, Doncaster Council, National Fluid Power Station, NHS Doncaster and Bassetlaw Clinical Commissioning Groups, XPO Logistics, NMC Group, HIRD, AMH Accountancy, Quayside Childcare, Pacy and Wheatley, SYS Ltd, Instastop, NHS Professionals, National Kidney Federation, The Crucible Trading Company, Companionate Care Team, Marketing Labs and Transave to name a few.
