Please rest assured that it's business as usual for us and we’re still very much here for our fundraisers, our grant holders and, of course, all the staff and patients at St Bartholomew’s, The Royal London, Mile End, Newham and Whipps Cross Hospitals.
We have never been prouder to support the dedicated staff at the Barts Health NHS hospitals, who are working on the frontline of the response to the COVID-19 outbreak, and we’ll continue to provide the funding they need to deliver exceptional care to the people of East London.
The Barts Charity team
We fund ground-breaking research, state-of-the-art equipment and innovative healthcare projects that change lives.
By supporting Barts Health NHS Trust and Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, we bring extraordinary healthcare to East Londoners and many more patients throughout the UK.
Your support funds exceptional care and healthcare research in the five hospitals of Barts Health NHS Trust and its medical school.
You can choose to make a donation for a hospital close to your heart, research that saves and improves lives, or for your donation to be used where it's most needed.
