🎄 WE NEED YOUR HELP!🎄

Our mission: to spread Christmas cheer to across the hospital! 🐻💙

Our new range of bears have landed just in time for Christmas and are almost ready for adoption, but there’s a big problem... they have no names!

We need your help to give these adorable duos their forever identities!
To get into the spirit of giving, Blue Skies is giving away a pair of these brand-new bears to one lucky individual! The chosen names will become the bears’ official, forever names! 🤩

🐻 HOW TO WIN 🐻
It’s a FREE competition, just follow these simple steps:

1️⃣ Comment: Drop your best name suggestions for the pair below!
2️⃣ Engage: Like this post & share it (Facebook = share; Insta = add to your story)!
3️⃣ Follow: Make sure you’re following our page!

Tag a friend you’d “share a bear, to show you care!” with for an extra chance!!

The winner will be announced on December 1st!
Let’s give these bears names as lovely as our staff! Good luck! ✨

It's the personal stories that truly warm our hearts. ❤️

Two weeks ago at BVH's Restart a Heart event, Antony Hume (82) entered our 'Name a Bear' competition. Yesterday, he came in with his family to collect the prize he won: a cuddly bear he affectionately named "Teddy Edwards." 🧸

Antony chose the name because it reminded him of a cherished television series from the early 70s. It was a lovely, touching moment seeing how happy he was to receive his new bear.

Antony lives with FTD (Dementia), and it’s these special moments that show the power of memory and connection. We were so pleased to be part of this special day with Antony and his family.

🪂 A sky-high congratulations to Zara! 🪂

🤯 One of our incredible supporters recently took the plunge and skydived a massive 15,000 ft! (Yes, she upgraded from 11,000ft because she couldn't resist the extra height! 🤩)!

💙 Zara did this in support of the SWAN bereavement maternity suite and raised a whopping £1549.88! 💙

✨ This incredible amount will make a massive difference to families going through the toughest of times. A huge thank you to Zara for her bravery and generosity!

🎃👻 Something (or someone) is coming… and it’s wearing tinsel in October 🎄🎁

🎅Our mischievous Christmas Flumpets have snuck in early, hiding in pumpkins, causing chaos, and whispering carols when no one’s listening. Halloween won't stop them!

✨It’s never too early for a little sparkle, right? (Sorry Jack 🎃) ✨

🎁 They’re not on sale just yet (they’re still plotting), but you can pop into the Blue Skies office to reserve yours now! Limited numbers, unlimited mischief! Get them whilst you can!🎄🧡

🩵 Pocket hugs and big smiles! 🩵

We had the absolute joy of welcoming the little stars from Kids Planet Nursery to Blackpool Victoria Hospital and our Blue Skies charity. With their cheerful energy and adorable pocket hugs, they lit up the building and brought smiles to everyone they met 💫

As a thank you, we gifted them our Blue Skies colouring books and pens, because kindness deserves a splash of colour! 🎨🖊️

Moments like these remind us that even the tiniest visitors can make the biggest impact 💙
