Philanthropy
We are so grateful to the charitable trusts and foundations and major donors who support our work. Their generosity enables us to take on really ambitious projects and they are pivotal in helping the incredible staff in Southampton Children’s Hospital lead the way in paediatric healthcare.
These annual gifts and one-off donations are absolutely essential to our work. They allow us to support urgent projects as well as plan ahead and invest in large or innovative projects that enhance the world-class care, often shaping advances in paediatric healthcare nationally and internationally. Your support allows us to ensure children and young people receive the very best care and treatment, close to home.
