We’re halfway there! £15,590 raised of our £30,000 Winter Appeal. Your support funds specialist care for people facing complex illness, addiction, and homelessness, keeps chaplaincy at the bedside, and sustains rehabilitation. Running until 1 April 2026. Extra funds will strengthen our Uganda Education Exchange. Care can’t wait.

We reflect on sector-wide uncertainty in international development and highlight the impact on frontline services. Our Uganda Health Programme aims to build five regional centres, strengthening community health, expanding specialist care, and building system resilience. With clear guidance, collaboration, and sustained investment, NGOs like Mildmay can deliver proven solutions where they are most needed.

Mildmay Uganda leaders visited London to share strategic priorities and deepen partnerships. We’re collaborating with Mildmay Uganda Hospital, the British High Commission, and the Ugandan Ministry of Health to expand integrated, community‑centred care. A pilot regional health centre in Mbale is planned for 2026, advancing HIV care, health systems, and livelihoods. We’re seeking capital and philanthropic support to bring care closer to home.

On Thanksgiving Day, Mildmay recognised the dedication of our wonderful volunteers with a celebratory lunch, short presentation of token gifts, and music led by our friend Dominic with Dr Ben. Our volunteers’ support is integral to our work. As Christmas approaches and World AIDS Day nears, we honour lives, recognise progress and renew our commitment to compassionate, inclusive HIV care. Thank you to all our volunteers.

Ruth Sims CBE, former matron and chief executive, returned to Mildmay this week. Her leadership helped shape our response to HIV and our international programmes in the 1980s and ‘90s. Her visit offered the team a moment to celebrate our progress and ongoing commitment to patient care.
