Each year, BCHC Charity provides around 600 Christmas gifts for inpatients and approximately 300 gifts for community service users, as well as providing party supplies, festive activities, and entertainment. We're committed to doing everything we can support the wellbeing of our patients, service users and colleagues across BCHC.
