King’s College Hospital Charity works to improve the care offered to patients and service users of King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Our vision, aligned to that of the Trust, is an outstanding local hospital & world class centre for specialist clinical, teaching & research excellence. The Charity is a catalyst for innovation and excellence in the Trust. We do this by fundraising and giving grants that enhance services and facilities, support research and development, and improve the working environment for staff. The Charity funds projects which improve every aspect of health: it does not replace core NHS funding, but instead, funds projects which go ‘above and beyond’ NHS-funded services to deliver the best outcomes for patients. The Charity has three priorities for grant making: 1. Further developing and delivering a strategic grants programme that delivers positive outcomes and impact for patients, service users and their families. 2. Ensuring key services/specialities use and develop their designated funds to support innovation and improvement in clinical services across the Trust. 3. Developing and delivering a Small Grants Programme. Our grant making strategy is focused on improving patient care at the Trust through: Supporting major transformation projects; Enhancing equipment and facilities; Supporting and pump priming clinical research; Improving patient experience and welfare; Supporting staff skills, health and welfare.
