Apply for funding
We oversee charitable expenditure of about £6m each year. We award between 40-60 grants each year under three themed areas: patient experience, staff, experience, and research. We also have opportunities to apply for one-off strategic grants.
Grants information
Applications in a thematic round will be assessed together, ensuring the pot of money available is used in the most strategic way.
