Brighter Futures GWH
Swindon, UK
Brighter Futures is the registered charity of Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and supports services at Great Western Hospital in Swindon and in our community health sites across Swindon. We aim to raise funds to support an extraordinary provision of care to our patients. Our charity funds the purchase of equipment, supports education for our staff, and improves the environment for our staff and patients - all of which are over and above the existing NHS budget. Our vision is to provide the best care possible to our patients, their families and visitors to the Trust. We rely completely on the generosity of our supporters to enable us to provide that extraordinary provision of care. Whether it’s a cake sale or a marathon, your fundraising efforts have helped us to change the lives of thousands of patients in Swindon and surrounding areas. Every penny given to Brighter Futures is used to make a difference to someone at what is often the most difficult and vulnerable time in their life. Donations have supported a diverse array of initiatives all across the Trust, including a new Radiotherapy Centre for cancer patients. Others include purchasing sensory equipment for children with special needs in the Children’s Unit and new incubators for babies in our Neonatal Unit. Other projects funded include the pilot of a Sepsis Nurse and making significant improvements to improve care for patients in our Older Persons Care Ward. You can chose to support any ward/department within the hospital. We also have run special appeals and a Hospital General Fund which is used wherever the need is greatest across the whole Foundation Trust. Thank you for your support!
