Charity grants

As a charity, we aim to maximise the amount available for us to spend on our charitable activities. In 2019-20, 97p from every £1 was spent on lifesaving equipment and new technology, enhancing the patient environment, supporting staff and funding research. Just 3p from every £1 was spent on raising funds.

In the coming year, we plan to spend £4.1m to support projects in our hospitals. Thanks to donations we receive, we are able to support a huge variety of projects. Some of the projects are in excess of £1m whereas others are much more modest but still have a huge impact.

Some of the grants we have awarded in recent months include:

• £1,700 to purchase new furniture for the Breast Imaging counselling room
• £518 for an iPad to be used by patients in Critical Care
• £2,520 for Big C to run an exercise programme for cancer patients
• £3,840 to fund seven paediatric training courses
• £9,550 for an additional ultrasound scanner for Cromer Hospital
• £385 to purchase 100 digital thermometers for Cystic Fibrosis patient home monitoring.
