Why support us

Your donations and fundraising helps to support patients, visitors, staff and the wider community here at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust.

We are always humbled by the people who choose to support our charity.

NHS funding pays for much of the vital equipment, facilities and services we provide. But with your support, we can further improve the quality of care we provide, or the environment our patients are treated in.

We can make our wards more modern, provide better facilities or additional items or technologies to make a stay in hospital more comfortable for our patients, and the loved ones who visit them.

We can provide brighter break rooms for our staff, invest in new hospital systems to streamline the service they provide. Most importantly, we can use these vital funds to support our staff health and wellbeing.
