Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust General Charitable Fund
About This Funder
The Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust General Charitable Fund, established by deed in June 1996 and operated as the sole corporate trustee by the Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust, exists to enhance the health and wellbeing of its patients and staff across Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin. Its core mission is to fund equipment, activities, amenities, and environmental improvements not covered by standard NHS budgets, complementing statutory services to boost patient experiences and staff morale. Guided by values of compassion, partnership, public benefit, and stewardship of donor intentions, it relies on donations, legacies, and grants from supporters like NHS Charities Together, prioritising needs identified by Trust managers in areas such as community hospitals, children's services, palliative care, and specialist nursing.
Funding supports patient-focused enhancements like medical equipment, day rooms, relaxation spaces, and resources for vulnerable groups—including children, the elderly, disabled individuals, and those with complex needs—as well as staff wellbeing initiatives, training, and facilities to improve retention and skills. Beneficiaries are exclusively patients and workforce within the Trust's services.
Unsolicited applications are not accepted; only internal requests from Trust departments and teams via a Charitable Funds Expenditure Request Form are considered on a rolling basis by the Trust Board, with no public deadlines. Eligible entities are limited to Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust units; external charities or groups are ineligible unless directly commissioned by the Trust. Typical grants range from £250 to £15,000, mostly under £10,000.
Distinctively, it excludes core statutory costs, research, political or religious activities, unrestricted support, or projects outside its geographic and NHS remit, ensuring tightly focused, supplementary impact through close collaboration with local staff and League of Friends groups.
