Appeals
As part of our work to support the Trust, Whittington Health Charity runs a number of fundraising appeals, giving you the chance to support some of the incredible work being delivered by the Trust, and to help invest in the Trust’s ambitious future.
Below are links to our current appeals – thank you for your support.
We’ve got big plans for our children’s ward and we need your support
A visit to hospital can be stressful, and it’s even more daunting for children. We want to make our paediatrics department more welcoming and child-friendly by funding improvements to the environment that will have a positive impact on the wellbeing of our youngest patients.
Thanks to the funds we’ve raised already toward this appeal, work is now underway to create a dedicated space for teenage patients, and completely refurbish a room used to case for children in mental health crisis.
There’s so much more we can do but we’re reliant on charitable donations to bring our vision to life.
Courtyard Garden
Whittington Hospital urgently needs a safe, accessible, and stimulating outdoor space for our most vulnerable patients. With charitable support, we will turn an unsafe, unused courtyard into a tranquil garden with plants, music, covered seating, soft flooring, games and exercise equipment.
Enhancing care for patients with cancer
Cancer treatment can be harsh and aggressive, with side effects that can be difficult to manage. Treatment can continue over many months. That’s why we’re funding holistic treatments such as massage and counselling to help patients cope with their illness. We also want to fund improvements to the chemotherapy ward to provide a more calming and comfortable environment.
Patient and staff spaces in maternity
We know the physical environment plays a huge part in our patients’ wellbeing. This is especially true for women expecting a baby. Sadly, some of the rooms in the hospital are tired and drab and don’t promote relaxation and comfort. We are therefore delighted that House of Grey interior design studio have kindly agreed to help us transform the following three rooms, providing their services free of charge.
Counselling room in the early pregnancy unit
Staff room on the labour ward
Family room in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children
The world-renowned Michael Palin Centre for Stammering is dependent on charitable support to offer help to the 150,000 children in the UK living with a persistent stammer.
Urgent Assistance Fund
When a patient needs help and time is of the essence, the Charity can provide immediate support to relieve suffering or bring joy.
