What is NHS Charities Together membership?

Our membership network represents all NHS charities based with every Trust and Health Board across the UK, with 97% of those charities as paying members. This includes charities based in hospitals, mental health, community and ambulance services. Together, we give over £1.2million to the NHS every day.

At NHS Charities Together, we support members to:

  • reach their individual goals

  • to grow, learn and innovate together

  • to deliver impact, gathering around issues affecting the sector.

“From an overarching strategy, working as one group of charities has the potential to be extremely powerful in making a difference to the health of the general public.”
