mitretrust.comAbout Mitre Trust
Mitre Trust is an independent medical charity established in 1992 and based at Musgrave Park Hospital in Belfast, the region's centre for orthopaedics and rehabilitation. Its mission is to enhance patient services, fund innovative developments, and bridge NHS funding gaps for specialist projects that improve care quality, rehabilitation outcomes, and hospital environments. Guided by a practical, results-oriented ethos, the Trust collaborates closely with hospital staff and patients to deliver measurable impact through high-value interventions in musculoskeletal care.
The Trust funds capital projects, specialist medical equipment, facility upgrades, and pioneering rehabilitation initiatives exclusively within Musgrave Park Hospital. Beneficiaries are primarily patients of all ages undergoing orthopaedic surgery, prosthetics, or post-trauma rehabilitation. Thematic priorities focus on direct clinical benefits in orthopaedics, spinal care, and rehab.
Distinctively, Mitre Trust is a hospital-exclusive partner, accepting no unsolicited applications from external entities. It does not fund broader Northern Ireland or UK activities, core costs, or external proposals, ensuring laser-focused impact on Musgrave Park's specialised care.
