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.
We are delighted to announce that our fundraising campaign for a new intra-operative MRI (iMRI) scanner suite at Southampton Hospital (SCH) has been successful! Working in partnership with University Hospital Southampton, we’ve raised the funding needed to build and equip the new suite, which should be fully operational by the summmer of 2022.
