Regional NHS Charities come together to demonstrate the importance of Gifts in Wills

Five regional Midlands NHS Charities have come together to share the importance of what it means for supporters to leave a gift in their will.

Together, The Dudley Group NHS Charity, University Hospitals Birmingham Charity, University Hospitals North Midlands Charity, Worcester Acute Hospitals Charity and Your Trust Charity (Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust)  support well over 6 million patients a year and 56,000 staff.  Last year these five charities alone spent over £7.5 million supporting their NHS Trusts in areas over and above NHS funding.  This included everything from funding new facilities, research, cutting edge equipment, staff welfare and much more.  A large proportion of this funding will have come through kind supporters leaivng gifts in their wiils and this week we celebrate this and ask others if that is something they might be able to consider.

If you would like to support your local community in this way, please read on and get in touch with the relevant charity.
