Who we are
We provide additional funding to Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust who support people at every stage on life’s journey.
From welcoming babies into the world on the Jessop Wing, to supporting cancer care at Weston Park, and specialist care at the Royal Hallamshire, Charles Clifford and the Northern General.
Our support helps to improve the lives of people across Sheffield from patients and their families to our NHS staff who take care of them.
Our vision
Every person cared for and working in our hospitals, community and social care services is treated with compassion and has access to the best equipment and treatments in the best environments.
Our mission
We help Sheffield’s hospitals, community teams and health and social care services to cover the costs that the NHS can’t. By funding support for patients and staff, life-changing research and more, we enhance care from birth to the end of life and everything in between.

Our values
1. We’re the best together
We work collaboratively with our beneficiary Trusts and other organisations to have the greatest impact for the people of Sheffield. We help our supporters and volunteers to give back to the NHS in ways that suit them. We employ talented people and encourage each other to be the best we can be.
2. We go the extra mile
Whether you’re a patient, NHS staff, supporter or employee, we strive to make people feel uplifted. Our funding is always above and beyond what the NHS can provide, and we ask, ‘How can we fund the best outcomes in this area?’. We go the extra mile for each other, our beneficiaries and our supporters, and ask, ‘How can we help?’. As a team, we celebrate our successes and work hard to improve and innovate.
3. We look to the future
We help build a brighter future for the NHS in Sheffield. When funding, we ask, ‘How will this help our Trusts now and in the future?’. As a charity, we aim to be financially and environmentally sustainable. When investing in our charity, we ask, ‘Does this help build a sustainable organisation and a happy, productive team?’.
Our strategy
We’ve worked to understand what really matters in Sheffield, and where our Charity’s limited funds can have the most impact.
Our three-year strategy has been developed alongside our NHS colleagues and Charity staff, as well as drawing on conversations in patient forums and listening to our incredible supporters.
The plan is ambitious and rightly so. We’re determined to keep making a difference.
