We often welcome visitors and guests to Newcastle Hospitals, if their work falls within the themes we support you may be able to apply for funding. 

Funding for projects involving hospitality will: 

• Be provided only where it can be shown to provide benefits to the strategic aims of the trust and/or charity. 
• Be connected to fundable activities which disrupt normal meal arrangements or may be provided in circumstances where it would be discourteous to fail to offer hospitality.
• Provide sufficient details to justify the expenditure including the names and titles of the person(s) receiving the hospitality.
• Use the meal allowances used by the trust to inform the cost of hospitality per person (if a visiting speaker or lecturer has given up their time for free, an above standard level of hospitality may be appropriate; please contact the charity to discuss such cases).

Funding can include payments relating to visiting researchers or lecturers who provide valued input into the work of the trust.
