Charity of the Year
West Herts Hospital Charity

Our mission

Our mission is to support the strategic priorities of the Trust in providing the best healthcare for its catchment area 607,000 people from across the region and beyond - raising standards above the level that NHS funding alone allows.

We do this by funding the latest technology, capital and environmental enhancements, staff development, research, and extra comforts that make such a difference to patients, day after day.

Our focuses

Patients and families

Supporting patients is at the core of our work, providing funding for specialist services, equipment and comforts that complement existing NHS-funded services.

Healing spaces

Calm and well-structured surroundings can reduce stress during a visit to hospital, aid recovery and enhance wellbeing and safety, so we raise funds for indoor and outdoor environmental enhancements.

The latest technology

Medical equipment evolves at a speed with which the NHS cannot keep pace, and charitable funding can help to ensure that patients receive the best care possible, using the latest technologies.

Developing staff

We support initiatives which enable staff to develop their skills and expand their knowledge so they can provide even better care. Charitable funds also support staff wellbeing by providing initiatives to help them relax and take care of themselves, such as fitness classes and wellbeing spaces.
