Southampton Hospitals Charity supports practical, visible improvements across University Hospital Southampton and nearby NHS services, with a strong emphasis on patient experience, staff wellbeing, and clinical outcomes. It typically funds equipment, small capital works, service enhancements, and clinician-led research that can be piloted locally and then have wider impact. The charity appears especially interested in projects that make care more comfortable, efficient, and dignified for patients and families, while also helping NHS staff do their jobs better.
Phased grant programmes open throughout the year, with applications submitted against specific programme windows. Awards appear to range from small practical purchases to larger department-level and hospital-wide improvements, with roughly £1,000,000 distributed through the Patient Benefit Grants Programme across hospital departments.

Check the relevant programme page for the current application window, as funding opens in phases rather than on a single annual deadline. Proposals that clearly show direct patient benefit, measurable improvement in care or staff wellbeing, and a practical local impact are likely to fit best; department-level NHS applications and clinician-led pilot research seem especially well aligned.
