nottinghamshirehealthcare.nhs.ukAbout Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Charitable Trust Funds
Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Charitable Trust Funds is the official charity of Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Established in 2001 through mergers of mental health and learning disability services, it later expanded into community physical health and achieved Foundation Trust status. Guided by values of compassion, patient-centred excellence, inclusivity, and public benefit, its mission is to enhance NHS services by funding innovative projects that go beyond statutory provision, improving health and wellbeing across mental, physical, offender, and learning disability care for all ages. The fund operates without direct staff or remunerated trustees, relying on Trust governance for non-commercial, donor-driven decisions that deliver measurable outcomes in patient experience and staff welfare.
What Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Charitable Trust Funds funds
The fund supports healthcare enhancements such as medical equipment, patient amenities, staff training and wellbeing initiatives, care environment improvements, and small-scale research tied to Trust needs. Examples include LUCAS chest compression devices, minibuses for transport, and sensory grab bags for learning disabilities. Beneficiaries are exclusively Trust patients, staff, and local communities in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County, with occasional support for the Trust's regional or national specialist services.
Who can apply
Eligibility is highly restrictive: only internal applications from Trust staff or service leads are considered. External organisations, charities, or the public cannot apply. No income thresholds or entity types apply externally.
