Festive Sock Day
Friday 18 December 2026
Put your best festive foot forward and help make a difference across UHDB over the festive season.
On Friday 18 December, we're inviting wards, departments and teams across UHDB to take part in Festive Sock Day in support of Derby & Burton Hospitals Charity.
Getting involved couldn't be easier. Gather your colleagues, pull on your most festive socks and make a donation to support our hospitals. A £2 donation is suggested which can be paid into the General fund or your own preferred fund.
Whether you choose snowmen, reindeer, Christmas pudding socks or something wonderfully wacky, it's a simple way to boost festive spirits in your workplace while raising money for a great cause.
