The difference we make
The difference we make
We make a difference in our community thanks to you. We appreciate the real difference your support makes in the lives of our patients, staff, and communities.
Through your donations and involvement, the charity has already helped fund:
-
Specialist equipment to support patients with additional needs
-
Staff wellbeing initiatives, around physical and mental health support
-
Community health projects that tackle loneliness and promote healthy living
These projects have made a positive impact to patients who’ve experienced better recoveries, staff who feel more supported and valued in their roles and much more.
Together, we’re building something truly meaningful.
These stories are a reminder that every pound raised has the power to change someone’s experience of care for the better.

How to apply for funding
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we are able to fund a number of services in our community, all of which make a difference to our patients and visitors.
We work closely with our clinical colleagues to identify areas where we can enhance the patient experience, purchase advanced equipment and provide training to our staff above what the NHS can fund.
