Mission Statement 

Our mission is to build a healthier and stronger community.

• To promote and support the overall wellbeing within our Trust’s community.

Make a donation

Whatever your connection to HCT is, your support is vital to make the best care possible for anyone who needs it. Every donation helps take care further at HCT. Regular donations help the Charity plan effectively, and gifts recorded in Wills can be transformational for the community and our trust.

Donating to HCT can be for a number of reasons such as:

• as an act of kindness,
• in memory of a loved one,
• donating in wills and legacies,
• in support of a service and much more.

Your donations make amazing things possible, and create a lasting positive impact in our community.

You can make a one-off payment or a set up regular donation.

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.

Email the proposed initiative to ensure it aligns with the charity's mission.
