Charities have played an important role in supporting the NHS throughout its history, and today our 230+ members give over £1million to the NHS every day – so that people can stay well for longer, get better faster, and to support staff wellbeing.
NHS Charities Together began as a membership organisation back in 2000, under the name Association of NHS Charities. Their purpose was to support members through training, advocacy and networking – helping them to have more impact.
In 2018 they changed their name to NHS Charities Together, and when Covid-19 hit in 2020, they launched the first ever national appeal for the NHS, raising over £150million to support staff as they faced the biggest crisis in the NHS’ history.
Since then, they have continued to raise money and awareness for NHS charities at a national level, whilst still fulfilling their role as a membership organisation, ensuring that funds are sent to where they are needed most. Together, they can help the NHS go further.
