Wear It Red Week!!

Wear It Red Week is Hearts Together’s annual campaign to raise awareness of the charity and bring our community together in support of local families.

Whether you’re wearing red at work, taking part with your school, running a bake sale, fundraising with friends or simply showing your support online - every donation makes a real difference.

How your donation helps

Your support during Wear It Red Week helps Hearts Together provide:

  • safe, comfortable accommodation for families near Derriford Hospital
  • a welcoming place to rest between long hospital visits
  • emotional support and reassurance during a traumatic time
  • practical help for families who may otherwise be forced to travel long distances every day

Families staying with us are often facing the unimaginable.
Your kindness helps ensure they don’t face it alone.

“You never know when you're going to be in that position - we never in a million years thought that would be us. ”

For families like Simon’s, that support can make an immeasurable difference. In 2019, Simon and his wife were advised to stay close to Derriford Hospital while their daughter Olivia, suddenly and critically ill, lay in a coma. Hearts Together provided them with a safe, welcoming place to stay nearby at a time of enormous uncertainty, allowing them to remain close without the added stress of being far from the family home in Falmouth.
