My Wish Charity
About This Funder
My WiSH Charity is the official NHS charity for the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, established in 1995 by consolidating 91 endowment funds to enhance patient care, comforts, and staff wellbeing at West Suffolk Hospital, Newmarket Community Hospital, and Suffolk community services—always providing 'extras' beyond statutory NHS funding. Its mission emphasizes modern technology, equipment, improved environments, and initiatives boosting patient experiences, family support, and staff welfare, guided by values of community involvement, donor gratitude, and alignment with Trust priorities through a corporate trustee model led by the Trust Board.
It funds diverse themes including acute and community healthcare, end-of-life care (via Butterfly Appeal), children and young people's services (WiSH Upon a Star Appeal), staff wellbeing projects, medical innovations, patient comfort/dignity enhancements, and environmental upgrades like sensory rooms and gardens. Beneficiaries encompass all patient ages, families, carers, and NHS staff within the Trust's footprint, supporting ward-specific improvements such as monitoring equipment, specialist beds, bereavement resources, and maternity enhancements tied to internal needs or fundraising appeals.
Unsolicited applications from external organisations are not accepted; funding targets Trust-associated departments, teams, or partner projects in West Suffolk and contiguous areas only—no geographic, income, entity, or religious restrictions specified beyond this. Initial enquiries must be made by phone or email to the fundraising office, with rolling decisions via internal processes and no deadlines.
Typical grants range from £500 to £25,000 (mostly under £10,000) for project, capital, or wellbeing enhancements, excluding core NHS costs, salaries, unrestricted support, or activities outside the Trust. Distinctive for its hyper-local NHS integration, transparent governance, donor-designated funds, and tangible, sustainable impacts on Suffolk healthcare.
