Making a positive difference to your local hospital

We fund improvements to the hospital environments and services beyond that which NHS funding alone could deliver in York and Scarborough hospitals and our community sites and services.

About York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity

We are the official charity of York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. From the everyday to the transformational, we fund improvements to the hospital environments and services which are above and beyond NHS funding. With your help, we can make the hospital experience the best it can be for all who visit, stay and work there. We also support our teams who deliver care in the community.

With your support, we can:

  • Purchase new equipment
  • Enhance patient care and experience
  • Improve the hospital environment through building and refurbishment
  • Invest in staff wellbeing and training
  • Support research

We support the work of York, Scarborough, Selby, Malton, Bridlington and St. Monica’s hospitals as well as community services.
