EHAAT is hosting a free virtual Christmas event to thank residents and businesses for their help during the ongoing pandemic.

Its Online Christmas Celebration will include contributions from patients, crew, staff and volunteers with festive songs, unique readings and a look behind the scenes.

Kerry Russell, Head of Events and Merchandise at EHAAT, said: "Although we can’t gather in person this year, our virtual event will be a fantastic festive celebration for everyone to enjoy safely at home.

"It has been a challenging year for everyone, but thanks to our amazing supporters the charity’s critical care teams have still been there 24/7 for the people of Essex, Hertfordshire and beyond, helping to keep more families together this Christmas.

"To say a big ‘thank you’ to our wonderful supporters, we have created our very first Online Christmas Celebration, and we would be delighted if as many people as possible could join us."

There will also be a personal message from EHAAT CEO Jane Gurney, and free tickets can be registered for on the charity's website.
