Nottingham Forest Community Trust

Two Nottingham institutions have come together to support our city’s mental health.

A new local fundraising partnership has been announced, between Nottingham Forest Community Trust and Nottingham Hospitals Charity.

Bringing the football community and the city’s NHS hospitals together, the new pairing will work together to raise money for healthcare initiatives across the city.

As the lead charity for Nottingham University Hospitals Trust, Nottingham Hospitals Charity works tirelessly to fund improvements to patient care in Queen’s Medical Centre, City Hospital, Ropewalk House and Nottingham Children’s Hospital.

Most recently, the Charity has committed to funding 83 wellbeing areas across the hospitals, for staff who have been working throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nottingham Forest Community Trust (NFCT) was established in 2010 and aims to engage, inspire and empower the people of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire to live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives.

Our first fundraising campaign will launch later this year, with more details as to how to get involved announced in the near future.

Barbara Cathcart, Chief Executive of Nottingham Hospitals Charity, acknowledged the natural fit of the two charities coming together.

“Nottingham is home to both sporting excellence and a magnificent NHS, so it is fitting that the two have come together to support our local community. I am really looking forward to launching our first fundraising campaign together and getting the whole of Nottingham on our side to help fund crucial health projects.”
