Charities

Kilmartin Museum inspires and educates people by interpreting, explaining and conserving the internationally important archaeological landscape, artefacts and natural heritage of Kilmartin Glen.

KIND was set up in 1975 to help disadvantaged children aged 5-12 and their families across Liverpool and Merseyside. Throughout, our ethos has never changed – we believe all children have the right to be the best they can and that it is our role to help facilitate this by providing tailor made educational activities and experiences, services, special projects and practical support which help them cope with the effects of poverty and disadvantage and show them that they and life can be different.

King George & Queen’s Hospitals Charity is a local NHS Charity supporting two local hospitals: King George Hospital in Ilford and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. Our focus is clear – we work alongside and in support of Barking, Havering & Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust and the Trust’s staff and clinical teams to make our hospitals even better for our patients and their families. Our charity does not subsidise the core responsibilities of the NHS but we enhance the essential services provided by them to make the hospital journey the best it can be for everyone. Our charitable donations fall into four categories: • Medical equipment • Information & technology • Comfort & the environment • Research & training We actively create events, challenges and campaigns to encourage our community to help us raise funds, and we are the custodians of all voluntary donations and charity investments. We take pride in ensuring our supporters’ donations will be wisely spent and restricted to a specific area if requested. Our role is to listen to the concerns, ideas and innovations of both our patients and staff and to help turn their great ideas into reality - making the hospital experience better for all.

The King's Fund is a charity that seeks to understand how the health system in England can be improved. Using that insight, we work with individuals and organisations to shape policy, transform services and bring about behaviour change.
