Association of NHS Charities

We seek to support, and to be the voice of all NHS Charities
in England and Wales.

The principal aim of the Association is to promote the effective working of NHS Charities. We do this by:

providing an authoritative voice for NHS Charities
and representing their interests to other charities,
voluntary bodies and statutory bodies
providing a forum for discussion of matters of
mutual interest
collating and disseminating information and advice
on issues of concern to NHS Charities
promoting and encouraging the implementation
of best charity practice to member charities
providing information, advice, training and
development opportunities for Trustees and their
senior staff.

NHS Charities collectively hold over £2.2bn of assets and receive an annual income that exceeds £340m. Promoting the effective working of NHS Charities therefore aims to ensure that this enormous charitable resource is used effectively and efficiently, to improve the experience of, and therefore provide a benefit to all users of NHS hospitals and other NHS services.
