As the Government launches its NHS 10 year plan, our CEO Ellie Orton OBE welcomes the scale of the Government’s ambition while emphasising the vital role of NHS charities in helping to realise their plans.

Read her full statement at www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Quote from NHS Charities Together CEO Ellie Orton OBE.

"The reality is that the scale of these plans is so huge that the NHS can’t and shouldn’t have to face this alone; the voluntary sector, partners and the NHS charities based in every NHS Trust are part of the solution."

Five years ago today, our Covid-19 Urgent Appeal had raised £100 million in just six weeks. Not only that, but a fifth of that money had already made its way to every one of our NHS charity members to meet urgent needs.

Today, over 90% of those projects continue to have a lasting impact.
