Royal Surrey Charity
About This Funder
Royal Surrey Charity is the dedicated fundraising arm of the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, transforming healthcare in South West Surrey and beyond by enhancing services at hospitals including Royal Surrey County Hospital, Haslemere, Cranleigh, and Milford. Established to deliver added value beyond core NHS funding, its mission centers on compassion, excellence, innovation, and community, funding advanced equipment, research, staff development, ward refurbishments, and patient experience improvements for all ages—from babies and children to older adults. Key priorities include cancer care (via a dedicated Cancer Centre Fund), maternity/neonatal services, stroke/frailty rehabilitation, surgical advancements, and general patient/staff welfare, with past investments like £750,000 for the Royal Surrey Cancer Centre redevelopment.
It primarily supports patients, NHS staff, and the local community through project-based grants for equipment, capital projects, research initiatives, training, and care enhancements, prioritizing high-impact interventions in hospital settings that exceed statutory NHS provision.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities based in South West Surrey, aligned with Trust hospitals; no income thresholds apply, and unsolicited applications are welcomed. Submit ideas to relevant fund managers via detailed forms and evidence; Designated Funds operate on a rolling basis year-round, while competitive ones like the Greatest Need Fund have deadlines (e.g., 10 June 2024). Typical grants range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of pounds, scaling to £750,000+ for major projects, with decisions ongoing or post-evaluation.
Distinctively, it avoids external organizations or generic health grants, focusing exclusively on evidence-based, Trust-partnered improvements with rapid clinical responses and community mobilization, differentiating it as a strategic enhancer of local NHS care rather than broad philanthropy.
