Special purpose funds

We manage over 200 unique funds, each set up to support a specific purpose

We manage over 200 unique funds, each set up to support a specific disease, department or service. These funds are called special purpose funds (SPFs).

Do I have a fund?

SPFs contain money that has been donated to the charity to be spent on a particular area of disease, department, or service. This could include funds donated to honour the care a loved one received while undergoing treatment or to support a particular area of research.

There may be SPFs you can use to support your patients, or you and your colleagues, in line with the fund’s purpose. 

Our SPF funding is now aligned with our grant funding, and we will not provide a grant if there is charitable money available in an SPF. To find out if there’s an SPF available, please email [email protected].

Please note not all departments have an SPF, as they are created uniquely from the donations the charity receives. If you’d like to fundraise for your department, please contact our fundraising team who can assist you at [email protected].
