Our Stars Appeal is a special way for individuals, community groups, schools and companies to light up Milton Keynes University Hospital and make a real difference.
By adopting a star, which will be displayed on the front of the MKUH Main Entrance building with a special name tag to celebrate your support, not only will you be helping your local hospital charity raise funds, but you’ll also brighten up the stay of patients and their families over the festive period.
Your support will help us fund special items for patients and families in hospital over Christmas and beyond.
Each of our 15 stars cost £400 to adopt. Funds raised will be used to purchase items such as Christmas gifts for patients who find themselves in hospital over the Christmas period. They could also be used to fund specialist items for or patients with dementia, including:
Activity and colouring books that offer comfort and gentle engagement
Puzzles and games to stimulate memory, conversation and cognitive function
DVD players with familiar programmes that soothe anxiety and trigger memories
Robotic pets that provide emotional reassurance and companionship
Reminiscence books filled with familiar images and themes to spark conversation
Bedside tablets with dementia‑friendly music, games and audiobooks
Calming digital aquariums offering gentle sensory stimulation
