royalsurreycharity.org.ukAbout Royal Surrey Charity
Royal Surrey Charity is the dedicated fundraising arm of the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, established to deliver added value beyond core NHS funding. Its mission centres on compassion, excellence, innovation and community. The Charity funds advanced equipment, research, staff development, ward refurbishments and patient experience improvements across hospitals including Royal Surrey County Hospital, Haslemere, Cranleigh and Milford. It supports patients of all ages – from babies and children to older adults – as well as NHS staff and the local community. Distinctively, the Charity focuses exclusively on evidence-based, Trust-partnered improvements within its hospital settings, ensuring all support directly enhances local NHS care in South West Surrey.
What Royal Surrey Charity funds
The Charity prioritises health-related causes, with key areas including cancer care, maternity and neonatal services, stroke and frailty rehabilitation, and surgical advancements. Funding supports project-based grants for equipment, capital projects, research initiatives, training and care enhancements that go beyond statutory NHS provision. All funded work takes place within the hospitals of the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, serving South West Surrey. The Charity seeks high-impact interventions that improve patient experience, staff welfare and clinical outcomes.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities based in South West Surrey that align with the Trust hospitals. The Charity primarily supports projects benefiting patients, NHS staff and the local community. No income thresholds apply, and unsolicited applications are welcomed. Organisations should demonstrate how their proposal delivers evidence-based improvements within the hospital settings.
What Royal Surrey Charity doesn't fund
The Charity does not fund external organisations or generic health grants that are not directly partnered with the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust. It also does not support projects outside its hospital settings in South West Surrey. All funding must enhance local NHS care, so proposals that do not align with Trust priorities or lack evidence-based impact are not considered.
