St George's Hospital Charity
About This Funder
St George's Hospital Charity, established in its modern form in 2001 with roots in the historic philanthropy of St George's Hospital, supports St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust—including St George's in Tooting and Queen Mary's in Roehampton—to enhance patient, family, staff, and community experiences beyond standard NHS funding. Its mission focuses on improving care, wellbeing, and outcomes through additionality—funding innovations and enhancements like medical research, capital refurbishments, advanced equipment (e.g., cardiovascular monitors), patient comfort initiatives (e.g., family rooms, children's distraction therapies), staff wellbeing programs, and arts/music interventions. Core values of compassion, excellence, collaboration, and inclusivity drive high-impact projects benefiting patients of all ages, families (especially children and carers), and Trust staff across neurology, cardiovascular care, and holistic services in southwest London communities.
Eligibility is highly restrictive: applications are accepted exclusively from Trust staff teams, multidisciplinary hospital groups, or affiliated units like St George's, University of London—no external charities or unsolicited proposals. Projects must directly serve the Trust's footprint in Merton, Wandsworth, and southwest London, with no income thresholds or religious restrictions.
Grants typically range from £5,000 to £50,000, with small awards under £5,000 using short forms and rolling decisions within 7–10 days; £5,000–£20,000 approved by the Chief Executive on a rolling basis; larger sums (£20,000–£75,000+) via Grants Committee (three times yearly) or Board (quarterly). Submit detailed applications with endorsements (e.g., finance managers) by email to Charity.Grants@stgeorges.nhs.uk, using online forms tied to Special Purpose Funds.
The charity excludes core costs, statutory NHS overlaps, or activities outside the Trust; its distinctives include deep NHS partnerships, responsiveness to staff/patient needs, and sustainable, visible transformations in care delivery and research translation.
