Hospital to hold ‘Sock Stars of 2024’ for Christmas

The sock day will commence on 13th December

Airedale Hospital & Community Charity are encouraging colleagues, visitors and patients to ditch the festive jumpers for festive socks on Friday 13th December.

They are asking each person to donate just £1 to charity and send in a photo of you and your friends in your socks to the charity.

Participants could be crowned the official ‘Sock Stars of 2024’.  

Laura Hepworth, Community Fundraiser said: 

“We want to make sure all our colleagues, visitors and patients across Airedale NHS Foundation Trust can join in with the festive fun. “Whilst Christmas jumper day has become a staple in the festive calendar, a lot of our clinical colleagues are unable to join in.  

“Swapping jumpers to socks ensures everyone can get involved on the day. 

She added,

“It’s a really simple idea that has grown over the years within the Airedale community. 

“We had some fantastic ‘Sock Star’ entries last year so we can’t wait to see what you come up with for 2024.” 

To make your donation *text Sock to 70480 or visit their website here.

If you’re planning to take part, the charity wants to hear from you, email anhsft.charity@nhs.net or call 01535 294870 to let them know.  

*Texts will cost the donation amount plus one standard network rate message, and you’ll be opting into hearing more from them.

If you would like to donate but don’t wish to hear more from us, please text SOCKNOINFO instead.
