About us
Providing vital funds and supporting outstanding healthcare
Every year we invest more than two million pounds into
supporting projects that fall outside of core NHS funding.
This investment is entirely funded by generous donations from
you, our public, and helps us to improve care for our patients
whilst also supporting our incredible staff.
From wellbeing spaces and children's bravery presents,
to breast pumps for new mums and rehabilitation tools,
every penny you donate helps us to fulfil our mission -
to make life All Together Better.
