NHS Charities Together
The Association of NHS Charities, operating as NHS Charities Together, is a network of over 230 charitable organisations that support the devolved National Health Service (NHS), their staff, patients, and communities in the United Kingdom. It acts as a collective voice for NHS charities, as well as coordinating national fundraising efforts.[3][4][5][6] Charities have played an important role in supporting the NHS throughout its history. NHS Charities Together began as a membership organisation back in 2000, under the name Association of NHS Charities. Its purpose was to support members through training, advocacy and networking – helping them to have more impact. [7] In 2018 it changed its name to NHS Charities Together, and when Covid-19 hit in 2020, it launched the first ever national appeal for the NHS, raising over £150million to support staff as they faced the biggest crisis in the NHS’ history. [8] Since then, NHS Charities Together has continued to raise money and awareness for NHS charities at a national level, whilst still fulfilling its role as a membership organisation, ensuring that funds are sent to where they are needed most. [9] In December 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge became joint patrons of the organisation.[10] References
