Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides healthcare to more than 500,000 people across North Tyneside and Northumberland. We add the extras that make a difference to our patients, every day.

Kind donations allow us to fund things that the NHS does not; including better facilities for patients and their families, and support for our incredible staff allowing them to provide the best of care that you need.

It is only through the kindness, generosity and hard work of our supporters raising vital funds that we are able to do more and more each year.
