For the last two years the N&N Hospitals Charity has brought Christmas to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital by transforming and illuminating the plaza in December with a twinkling displays of snowflakes.

This year we are again asking for the support of the community and business partners by sponsoring the snowflake display with the Christmas snowflakes display representing a beacon of hope in support of teams at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals who have faced the most challenging year during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Professor Nancy Fontaine, NNUH Chief Nurse, said: “2020 has been a very difficult year for so many people around Norfolk and I am so proud of the support shown to our hospitals.

“At this special time of year we would like to light up the hospital, so it can be enjoyed by staff, patients and visitors.

“We appreciate that it has been an exceptionally difficult year and would be delighted for as many businesses as possible, that are willing and able, to get behind the Snowflake Appeal to not only to support the work of our staff but illuminate the hospital at the end of 2020 to celebrate the start of a hopeful New Year.”

Louise Cook, head of fundraising at the hospital, added: “This idea has been used by other hospitals in the country to support their hospital charities and we would love for Norfolk businesses to help us shine bright this year. We hope display will be enjoyed by everyone visiting the hospital, and will raise money for the charity which in turn is used to benefit patients, staff and visitors.”
