Allowing our hospitals to go further
Our hospitals are always there whenever we need them throughout our lives and those of our families so in turn, the charity is there to support our hospitals and the dedicated professionals who work in them.
The charity raises funds to allow our hospitals to go further in so many different ways including the funding of innovative medical equipment, a vibrant arts programme for patients, ward refurbishments, staff support initiatives and cutting-edge research.
We encourage people to:
- Leave us a legacy in their will.
- Donate to campaigns that raise money for special projects.
- Co-ordinate and support general fundraising all year round.
- Make bids to trusts and foundations asking for funds.
- Support initiatives that support NHS staff.
- Volunteer time to support staff and patients.

As well as providing a wide range of hospital and community services, the trust supports people with a range of rare and complex medical, surgical and neurological conditions, cancers and genetic orders.
The charity also operates two dedicated funds that provide a focus for fundraising for The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and The Great North Children’s Hospital.
