Two hospital charities in the South West of England have merged to create one entity based around the boundaries of a newly formed NHS trust for the area.
Bristol and Weston Hospitals Charity and Southmead Hospital Charity have come together following the creation of Bristol NHS Foundation Trust.
The trust is formed from the University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) and North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT), bringing together services for 13 hospitals across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
“For many years, Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity and Southmead Hospital Charity have stood side by side with our NHS,” said Bristol and Weston Hospitals Charity chief executive Katie Walker.
“Today, by joining forces we can go further – making every donation have even greater impact, supporting NHS staff to innovate and deliver outstanding care, while ensuring kindness and compassionate care remain at the heart of everything we do.”
Walker added: “As we move into an exciting period of change, many important factors remain the same. Supporters can continue to give to the hospitals, services or causes closest to their hearts, and the day-to-day charitable support for our hospitals will remain unchanged.”
