Learn how to donate to our hospital charities
There are many ways in which to support the Hospital Charities, take part in fundraising events, organise your own activities, have your business support the charity, give while your shopping and many more.
Learn more about ongoing appeals and charity campaigns, these may be for specific pieces of equipment, the refurbishment of a facility or the development of new facilities.
Please make cheques payable to "STS NHSFT CHRT FND" which is short for South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Funds.
Mark on the back of the cheque with the service or ward you wish the donation to go to, every ward/service has at least one charitable fund attached to it which helps to fund improvements to that service/ward. If you are wishing your donation to go into the general funds for either charity please mark the check "general funds" on the back, these funds are used to support activities across the whole hospital such as giving all patients on wards on Christmas morning a present.
If you can please also include a note outlining why you are giving a donation, if its in memory of a loved one, or in gratitude for care given to yourself or someone else. We will pass this information on to the relevant service/ward.
If you are unsure which charity or service/ ward you wish to donate to, please contact us at stsft.charity@nhs.net and we will try to help.
Please send all cheques to;
Charitable fundraiser, Corporate Affairs, South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust, Trust HQ, Sunderland Royal Hospital, Kayll Road, Sunderland, SR4 7TP
