Our NHS Charity adds the ‘extras’ that help make a difference to our patients and staff every single day. From birth through to palliative care, we help and support patients, their families, and our fabulous NHS staff.

We cover a large population

County Durham & Darlington NHS Foundation Trust provides healthcare to:

  • more than 650,000 people 
  • across 8 hospitals 
  • and over 80 community locations including rural clinics and district care.

We cover a large area too

Our small team covers a huge geographical area and we would love your help. Please do get in touch to see how you can support our work.

It is only through your kindness and generosity that we can do more each year to help those in need in our hospitals and communities.
