The Countess Charity

The Countess Charity works with the local community, corporates and grant making trusts to raise money for over 80 funds across the hospital - each one making a real difference to patient care. 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.
