Applications for funding
Applications for charitable funding re-opens 20th November.
Over the past six months alone, we’ve received more than £1 million worth of funding requests, averaging over 30 applications each month. This incredible level of engagement reflects the creativity and dedication of teams across the Trusts, and we’re proud to have funded both major initiatives and smaller, impactful projects that together make a significant difference.
In light of this we are pausing our charity applications, as of 31st October 2025, to catch up with the influx of requests we have received. We will open our new funding rounds on the 10th November 2025.
If you have an idea for a funding application, please make a note of it and apply when the rounds are open again. Please also consider ways to fundraise to support it.
You can also let patients and their families know about the Charity, as those grateful for the care you provide may wish to make a donation to help bring your ideas to life.
What we fund
The Charity receives income from donors and supporters so that we can provide grant funding for projects, equipment, and activities that:
• Improve patient care
• Support staff well-being and development
• Enhance environments
Before applying, please read our Expenditure Guidance and Expenditure Policy to see what we can fund. To see examples of what we have funded, visit our news page.
For help with applications please review our Charity Request Process.
