The Charity supports both indoor and outdoor buggies, which are managed by the UHN volunteer services team and driven by dedicated volunteers. These buggies help patients travel around our Trust sites, providing essential comfort and convenience. Please consider fundraising or donating to help us continue and enhance this valuable service, from maintaining and upgrading the vehicles, to supplying blankets for patients and winter coats and hats for the volunteers who operate them.
Over 7,000 patients each year are supported by the volunteer outdoor buggies across UHN. Help us help even more people by donating to Northamptonshire Health Charity today.
From getting between departments to taking a short outdoor trip to visit an inpatient relative, these buggies provide dignity, reassurance, and independence at a time when it is most needed.
In the future we hope to fund buggy bus stops. Donations will help improve the service even further.
This will help ensure that patients and visitors can continue to access support when moving around busy hospital sites. For many people, particularly those with reduced mobility, long distances between departments can feel overwhelming. The outdoor buggy service offers a simple, reassuring solution, helping people arrive at appointments on time and with greater ease.

A café offering free drinks to people with cancer has re-opened at Northampton General Hospital (NGH) following refurbishment and improvements, thanks to generous donations to Northamptonshire Health Charity.
Thank you to everyone involved in strictly NGH. From the staff in the volunteer services team who organised the event, the staff who all gave up their free time to train for the event, for everyone who donated money to Northamptonshire Health Charity and to everyone who came on the night.
