uhliverpoolcharity.orgAbout Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Charitable Fund
Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Charitable Fund supports the University Hospitals of Liverpool Group, which includes Aintree, Broadgreen, and Royal Liverpool Hospitals. Formed in 2019 from the merger of legacy NHS trusts, its mission is to enhance patient care, environments, and experiences beyond what statutory NHS funding provides. Guided by values of caring, fairness, and innovation, the Fund works in partnership with staff, patients, and the community to drive clinician-led projects that improve holistic wellbeing.
What Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Charitable Fund funds
The Fund prioritises capital improvements to patient spaces, such as dementia-friendly areas and sensory rooms for autism, as well as equipment acquisition. It also supports staff and patient wellbeing initiatives, non-pharmacological therapies, and clinical research innovations. Its focus is on the Liverpool City Region and Merseyside communities, with a strong emphasis on high-impact, additionality-driven interventions that enhance dignity and wellbeing.
Who can apply
Only internal hospital divisions, specialist teams, and staff-led projects are eligible. Beneficiaries include inpatients, outpatients, staff, and vulnerable groups such as those with dementia, autism, or cancer. The Fund is strictly limited to the Trust's sites and catchment area. There are no income or size rules, but the Fund does not accept unsolicited applications from external charities or groups.
What Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Charitable Fund doesn't fund
The Fund excludes NHS-core-funded activities, unrestricted support, and external core funding. It ensures additionality in all its work, meaning it only supports projects that go beyond statutory NHS provision.
How they like to fund
The Fund operates entirely through internal proposals generated by hospital teams. It does not accept unsolicited applications from outside organisations. Funding is directed to staff-led, clinician-driven projects that align with the Fund's mission.
