Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Charity funds projects that directly improve care, patient experience, staff wellbeing, and research across Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It supports both internal staff-led ideas and external partnership projects, with a strong emphasis on practical improvements such as equipment, therapeutic activities, arts in hospital settings, and initiatives addressing health inequalities. The charity also backs major named funds and research-linked campaigns, especially where there is a clear benefit to patients, staff, or the wider North East community.
Primarily invite-only and relationship-based, with staff and external partners routed through the charity team rather than open competitive grant cycles. Grants range from small awards under £5,000 to medium grants of £5,000–£100,000, while larger capital projects are considered separately; decisions are usually made within days to weeks for small grants and up to 12 weeks for larger ones.
