Fundraising

Welcome to the Countess of Chester Hospital's fundraising site.  We are one of more than 300 registered charities in the UK associated with NHS hospitals or organisations. Together these charities contribute £400million each year to patient care. Our aim is not to fund patient care, but to enhance and improve it, providing grants for projects that are over and above those served by government funding. We currently have over 100 funds within the hospital to support.
