When hospital visiting was suspended, or reduced, across Scotland’s hospitals due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the charity supplied hospital wards across NHS Fife with more than 100 tablet computers to enable patients to video call friends and loved ones, and also supplied toiletries, magazines and other items to make stays in hospital more comfortable.
In April 2020, an exceptional donation of £500,000 was gifted to NHS Fife. The benefactors, who wish to remain anonymous, specified that the money should be used to address the urgent needs of patients and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Have a look at what we've funded to see some of the projects we have supported with this donation.
The benefactors gave a second generous donation of £250,000 after being pleased with the creativity with which their original gift was used. This donation is being used to further support NHS Fife patients and healthcare staff as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fife Health Charity became a member of NHS Charities Together (NHSCT), which was made famous by the fundraising efforts of ‘Captain Tom’ Moore, who raised millions for NHS-affiliated charities across the UK. Through this relationship, Fife Health Charity has received £447,847 to support NHS Fife patients and staff. Click here for more information about these projects.
