Funding Innovation, Transformative Care and Research.

Our patients and families are at the heart of everything we do.

Together we can do more for the 100,000 sick kids in our hospital’s care every year.

We help our hospital remain world-class by helping it deliver exceptional care and treatment beyond what the NHS alone can provide.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, donations, fundraising and gifts in Wills help us create welcoming hospital environments, improve patient and family experiences, invest in pioneering technology and fund vital research into childhood conditions.

Our Impact

Our impact is focused across four priority areas:

Patient in the hospital with their parent
Patient and Family Experience

We understand feeling comfortable and safe can have a huge impact on a patient’s wellbeing and overall experience. By funding family-friendly activities, celebrating special occasions and bringing home comforts, we make our hospitals less daunting for patients of all ages.

Developing Hospital Environments

By creating spaces focused on the needs of our patients and families, we help our hospital deliver outstanding care with compassion. From updating tired wards and treatment areas to refurbishing waiting rooms and replacing outdated furnishings, we create calm and soothing spaces where our patients and families can feel safe.

Enabling Technology and Equipment Advances

Many of the surgical techniques and technologies used today were mere ideas just a few decades ago. We have some of the best clinicians in the world working at our hospital, we’re proud to support them by funding innovative equipment and technology to provide life-saving care, speedier diagnoses and fewer invasive procedures.

Our funding helps deliver internationally recognised research into children’s health which accelerates and advances medical breakthroughs as well as pioneering change.
