Mildmay Hospital Support Fund

Help keep Mildmay’s specialist hospital running

Every day, Mildmay’s patients rely on a safe, well-equipped hospital environment designed around their complex needs. Your donation helps us repair, replace and improve the essential equipment, facilities and resources that make compassionate, specialist care possible.

Why we need your support

A hospital needs constant care too

Behind every patient’s recovery is a hospital that needs looking after.

From specialist equipment and rehabilitation aids to ward furniture, IT systems, kitchen appliances and essential repairs, there are always things that need replacing, improving or maintaining.

Your support helps us respond when something important is needed, ensuring our hospital remains a safe, welcoming and effective place for patients, families and staff.

What your donation can help provide

Helping with the essentials that keep Mildmay running

Gifts to the Mildmay Hospital Support Fund allow us to support a wide range of practical needs, including:

  • specialist equipment that supports patient care and rehabilitation

  • replacement items when essential equipment reaches the end of its life

  • improvements to patient areas and facilities

  • technology and IT equipment that helps staff deliver care effectively

  • furniture, appliances and other everyday essentials

  • urgent repairs and maintenance that help keep the hospital safe and operational

The difference you can make

Small things make a big difference

A hospital is made up of thousands of individual things; each one plays a part in helping patients receive the care they need.

A replacement mattress can improve comfort and dignity. Updated equipment can support rehabilitation. A repaired facility can make a safer, better environment for everyone who uses Mildmay.

Your donation helps us act when those needs arise.

Help us care for the hospital that cares for our patients

Mildmay has been providing specialist care for people living with complex health needs for over 100 years. With your support, we can continue to maintain the environment, equipment and facilities that allow our teams to deliver life-changing care.

Help us to invest in Mildmay's future.

Mildmay is a CHARITY providing specialist services solely to the NHS, not an NHS or private hospital.

Running a specialist hospital is hugely expensive. Around 80% of our income comes from NHS contracts, but this does not cover everything our patients need.

 

As a charity, we depend on people like you to help us raise the remaining 20%. We do not make a profit: every pound you donate is invested directly in our services and facilities, including essential equipment and a safe, therapeutic environment.
