We exist to support you, NUH staff, across Nottingham’s four NHS hospitals - including Queen’s Medical Centre, City Hospital, Ropewalk House and the Nottingham Children’s Hospital.
We work closely with NUH staff to identify the areas in greatest need of funding. If you identify a need in your department that you think will make a real difference to patients, you can apply for funding to meet that need, or you can fundraise towards it. Find out more about our Charity Guidelines on NUH Intranet.
Our online Grants system makes it easy to apply for a Grant, save progress and make sure your application fits the Charity Guidelines criteria.
NUH Staff are our Charity ambassadors! The more you can share news from the Charity with patients, families and the wider community - the more support the Charity gets to fund projects.
There are plenty of opportunities for members of Team NUH and their families to get involved with fundraising.
You could hold your own event, such as a cake sale or quiz night, or take part in an organised challenge event such as a skydive, trek or cycle ride. Whatever you choose to do, we're here to support you along the way.
To speak to us about fundraising or to request a fundraising pack, full of ideas and tips, please email hello@nottinghamhospitalscharity.org.uk or call our Relationship & Events Team Leader Jo Burr in the office at 0115 962 7905.
Supporting our patients this Christmas.
We recognise the hard work staff put in to ensure patients have a joyful festive season, especially for our young patients, which can be particularly challenging. Every year Nottingham Hospitals Charity raises thousands of pounds over the festive season and this year, the Grant a Christmas Wish project aims to transform charity donations into meaningful experiences that benefit young patients year-round.
While we appreciate the overwhelming support from local individuals and organisations during Christmas, many donations cannot be used due to dietary needs, infection control, or duplication.
In response to feedback, Nottingham Hospitals Charity has introduced a new one-page form for small grant applications under £2,500 for Grant a Wish. This ensures that every donation effectively supports children and young people, providing them with toys, games and arts and crafts supplies that bring joy throughout the year. Please email nuhnt.charitygrants@nhs.net for a copy of the form or to find out more about how Grant a Wish can your area of the Children’s Hospital.
Additionally, the charity has released new guidelines for accepting donations this Christmas. Organisations and individuals wishing to make tangible donations are encouraged to consider items for older patients and collaborate with Nottingham Hospitals Charity to facilitate this.
