We are the only registered charity dedicated to supporting patient care across West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. We believe that every patient deserves the highest quality care possible, whether it’s support through a pregnancy, care in an emergency, treatment for a long‑term illness, or kindness in final days.

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, staff in our three hospitals can provide a level of patient care beyond what would be possible with NHS funding alone. Charitable donations help fund the latest technology, environmental enhancements, staff development, and extra comforts that make such a difference to patients, day after day.
