Homeware retailer gifts NHS charity even more support

Rotherham Hospital and Community Charity has marked three years of support from Dunelm Rotherham through its Delivering Joy campaign.

Since 2023, the homeware retailer has selected the local NHS charity as one of the beneficiaries of their annual Delivering Joy initiative, which gives their customers the opportunity to take a gift tag from their Christmas tree in store and donate a gift.

The donations help to ensure that patients spending time in hospital over Christmas receive a gift, whatever their age.

Each year, the charity – based at Rotherham Hospital and part of Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust – receives hundreds of donated items, which are shared with patients across hospital wards – and will benefit once again from the Delivering Joy campaign in December 2026.

In addition to the campaign, Dunelm has supported the charity by regularly hosting popular Autumn and Christmas Wreath Making events at Dunelm Rotherham’s Pausa Café.

The retailer provides this venue free of charge to host the charity events, as well as donating free hot drinks and a sweet treat for participants.

Rachael Dawes, head of charity and engagement at Rotherham Hospital and Community Charity Said: “We are extremely thankful to Dunelm for their continued generosity and support. Their commitment over the past three years has made a real difference to patients and families in Rotherham, and to the success of our popular Wreath Making events.

"We’re proud to work alongside a company that shares our values and genuinely cares about supporting our NHS that we all rely on.

“We are absolutely thrilled with the news that Dunelm Rotherham will be supporting us for the fourth year to benefit from their fantastic Delivering Joy Campaign.

“We cannot thank Dunelm and our community who donate gifts enough – the campaign really does bring so much joy to so many poorly people over Christmas.”
