Southampton charity brings sustainable sparkle to the region’s Christmas trees

A Southampton cardiac charity has launched its range of sustainable decorations to help bring festive sparkle to the region’s Christmas trees.

Heartbeat has partnered with Nicholas James Hospitality to sell its range of wooden decorations made from 100% biodegradable moso bamboo and natural twine fitting – and they’re already flying off the shelves.

Available in a Christmas tree or robin and holly design, the decorations make for the perfect gift whilst giving back to a local charity making a positive difference in the region.

Proceeds will go towards supporting cardiac patients and their families cared for at the Wessex Cardiac Unit at University Hospital Southampton.

The charity also provides accommodation for relatives at Rotary Heartbeat House – a ‘home from home’ just a stone’s throw from the hospital which enables families and loved ones to stay close by during treatment.

Heartbeat’s Fundraiser Amelia Firetto said: “This is the first year we’ve rolled out our eco-friendly Christmas decorations, and I’m delighted to see how well they’ve been received. Every purchase will help support our life-changing work at Heartbeat being there for both patients and their loved ones during challenging times.”

Each decoration costs £10 and can be purchased from https://nicholasjameshospitality.co.uk/ or https://www.heartbeat.co.uk/product-page/heartbeat-hanging-decoration
