Major Donors and Charitable Trusts

Thanks to your generosity, we have funded world-class treatments, cutting-edge technology and pioneering research that will help to improve and save many lives.

The donations we’ve received have helped to fund a variety of innovative and life-saving projects across Leeds Teaching Hospitals that fall outside of statutory NHS funding, and we’re incredibly grateful for that support.

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is a world-leading Centre of Excellence in Research and Innovation. Supported by Leeds Hospitals Charity, it contributes to scientific breakthroughs that continuously improve healthcare for patients across the globe. Much of this work would not be possible without major donors, Trusts and Foundations, whose donations fund the delivery of world-class treatment, provide cutting edge technology to improve patient outcomes and invest in pioneering research to enhance our understanding of diseases and how best to treat them.

Major Donors to our charity are people who give individual gifts of over £5,000. These larger gifts play a huge role in helping Leeds Teaching Hospitals to provide a level of treatment and care that go above and beyond the normal provisions of the NHS, and to carry out life-changing research.

Through making a high value gift to Leeds Hospitals Charity, you can make a tangible and significant difference to the lives of people across Yorkshire!

Philanthropy can also be tax efficient! 

You can learn more about claiming part of your donation back, at no cost to the charity, and how the charity can make more of your gift through the Gift Aid scheme, by clicking the link below:

We will keep you up to date with the progress of your gift, ensuring that you know the real value that you bring to our patients and staff across our hospitals.
