The Murray Parish Trust
Our Vision
To drive innovation in children’s healthcare in order to save more lives and give children the very best chance to thrive.
Our Mission
We support projects at Southampton Children’s Hospital which advance and enhance children’s healthcare, including mental health, beyond that which is possible through NHS funding and driving forward the future of children’s healthcare in the UK. We also back innovative health related projects in our local community across central southern England which promise to make a real and lasting difference.
Focus on children’s mental health
During 2023 and beyond, The Murray Parish Trust is focusing on children’s mental health, fundraising to deliver projects which aim to improve early and innovative interventions.
