How we help

We help Sheffield’s hospitals, community teams, mental health and specialist services to cover costs their NHS budgets can’t. We fund support for patients and staff, life-changing research and more, so that we can enhance care from birth to the end of life and everything in between.

How we help

We provide additional funding to Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Sheffield Health Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust who support people at every stage on life’s journey.

From welcoming babies into the world on the Jessop Wing, supporting cancer care at Weston Park, specialist care at the Royal Hallamshire, Charles Clifford and the Northern General, to improving the mental, physical and social wellbeing of people in our communities. 

Somewhere along the line, our funding is likely to have helped you or someone you love.

As well as funding provisions for patients, our grants also contribute to training, equipment and wellbeing projects for NHS professionals.

By looking after the staff and services at the centre of patient care, we’re making sure they’re ready to look after you.

The work we fund is only possible through generous donations, fundraising events, corporate support and a coming together of our community. With your help, we’ll make sure that the care you and your loved ones receive is the best it can be.
