why does the NHS need to be supported by fundraising?
Everything that we fund is an ‘enhancement’ to the services provided by the NHS, and would not be paid for out of the government purse. We ensure that all clinical areas have the opportunity to access our work, and try also to support projects that do not traditionally attract charitable funding.
Our works makes a huge difference to peoples lives.
