we can have the greatest impact for our NHS

Together we can be there for even more of our hardworking NHS staff to support wellbeing

It’s thanks to kind donations from supporters like you that NHS Charities Together were able to provide a grant to the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust (UHNM). They used it to purchase this fantastic ‘wellbeing wagon’, which can be transported to each hospital for staff to book into.

Now NHS staff at Royal Stoke University Hospital and County Hospital in Stafford can access a range of wellbeing support, as well as career development classes in this safe, private and dedicated portable hub.

“Often our hard-working staff don’t have time to attend workshops or classes across sites so our wellbeing wagon brings what’s on offer closer to them. We want to improve UHNM as a place to work as well as receive care.”
Lisa Thomson, Director of Communications and Charity at UHNM

we can be there for patients and their families during the most difficult of times

Treetops Hospice provides end of life care for terminally ill patients across South Derbyshire and Derby City Centre. Their Roaming Nurse Service helps patients at home with vital care at night. Between 9.30pm and 6am, the Roaming Nurses respond to telephone calls from registered families in need of support for their loved ones.

“I am so grateful for how those nurses treated dad in his final night at home. I honestly don’t know what we would’ve done if it wasn’t for them. As soon as they walked in the door, they were so reassuring, it just felt like you could just take a deep breath and relax. They made his final night at home as comfortable and peaceful as possible, which is all that you can ask.”

Thanks to this project, funded in part by kind and generous people like you, Anja’s dad got the care he needed at home. Without donations from the public, he may never have had the chance to spend his final night with his family.

we can be there for some of the most isolated in the community to improve their mental health and wellbeing

Thanks to the incredible generosity of supporters like you, NHS Charities Together has been able to fund the Pit Stop project over the last two years. We are delighted that this fantastic project supporting men to improve their wellbeing and ease the pressure on the NHS.

“It’s hard to admit that you have a problem. My generation would just brush over it and tell you to get on with it but these days everyone is a lot more accepting. The support I get from Pit Stop is amazing and it’s the main thing that has got me through my dark patch and why I am still here.”
Keith, Pit Stop Member
