Making a difference in our place

We are incredibly proud to support exceptional projects that have had a huge positive impact for those most in need. From award-winning, sustainable and pioneering buildings, to mental health first aid training and psychological support for our staff throughout and beyond the Covid-19 pandemic, to a volunteer-led service that ensures no-one dies alone in hospital, to our Art and Design programme providing art workshops on our children’s and older patients wards.

We couldn’t do what we do without the support of amazing people like you. Thank you for supporting us and making our place healthier and happier for everyone.

How your support has helped us so far

Dyson Cancer Centre

Robotic Surgery

Quality and precision of surgery is one of the most important factors in improving care for patients with cancer. Bringing this state-of-the-art technology to the RUH could improve cancer-specific survival rates, cut down operating times and get patients home to their families quicker.

Critical Care Pendants

We’re celebrating extraordinary new intensive care equipment for the hour of need - thanks to a collaboration between the Friends of the RUH and RUHX. We've supplied new bed pendants that improve access to patients, house the new Clinical Information System (CIS) and deliver medical equipment, gasses and all electricity from a single point.

NHS Charities Together Community Partnerships

Grants are being made to 13 charities and community projects across our region. These projects will help our communities recover from Covid-19, work in partnership with NHS organisations, and prioritise the most vulnerable and marginalised groups impacted by the virus, focusing on deprivation, ethnicity, and mental health.

Compassionate Companions Service

Donations to the Compassionate Companions Service are making an exceptional difference to the support we can provide for patients receiving end of life care. Set up in 2019, the service offers much needed acts of kindness, words of comfort or even just someone being present at what can be an emotionally and physically exhausting time.
Breast Unit Extension

Breast Unit Extension

Our £1 million project to build an extension to our Breast Unit is one of our crowning achievements in 2022. Funded entirely by donations from people just like you, we were able to transform the patient and staff experience.
RNHRD-&-Brownsword-Therapies

RNHRD & Brownsword Therapies Centre

The Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases (RNHRD) opened in 2019, thanks to the support of the community. We were able to raise £2 million towards the outpatient centre, designed with staff and patients in mind.
Dyson Centre for Neonatal Care

Dyson Centre for Neonatal Care

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to transform the Dyson Centre for Neonatal Care from its modest existing facilities into its pioneering new home. The project, funded 50/50 by the NHS and RUHX, has dramatically improved the environment in which the RUH can care for the 500 premature and sick babies it looks after every year.
