Sheffield Hospitals Charitable Trust is one of more than 400 registered charities in the UK associated with NHS Trusts. Together these charities contribute £400million each year to patient care. Their aim is not to fund patient care, but to enhance and improve it – providing grants to projects that are over and above those served by government funding.
As a local charity with such a wide remit, Sheffield Hospitals Charitable Trust could, at some point, have a major impact on the life of anyone living in Sheffield, or in many cases, South Yorkshire and beyond. The charity’s specific aims are:
- Improving levels of patient care;
- Improving environments for patients and staff;
- Providing additional support for staff training;
- Providing financial support for the advancement of independent scientific and medical research;
- Growing levels of charitable giving to ensure the work can continue.
Last year almost £2million was spent on meeting these aims.
Sheffield Hospitals Charitable Trust doesn’t simply fund bits of equipment. Always remembering its core aims, the charity makes a real and positive difference to patient care in Sheffield.
So much can be done to improve patient care in Sheffield right now. There is a constant need for charitable donations to make a real and substantial difference in many different areas of healthcare provision. Sheffield Hospitals Charitable Trust welcomes donations for any part of Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Sheffield Primary Care Trust, Sheffield Children’s Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust (which deals with mental health issues) .
The charity’s experience means that donations are spent exactly where they were intended to be spent, and put to the best possible use to improve the lives of patients and their families.
