Date of release: 22 July 2024

RWT NHS Charity website homepage
The new website can be found here RWT NHS Charity and has been a labour of love for the Fundraising Team which works with patients, families, carers, businesses and organisations – as well as staff – to raise money for items above and beyond what the NHS can provide. The Charity supports the Trust’s hospitals at New Cross, Cannock and West Park as well as its community services.
Some of the Charity’s achievements over the last few months include:- Mini Tesla cars provided for young patients to travel to their operations
- Comfort bags bought to support lung cancer patients through their chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment
- Specialist chairs donated to the Neonatal Ward to help new parents feel more comfortable when feeding or caring for their babies
- The launch of a Children’s Ward garden appeal to help young patients’ recovery and wellbeing
The website is also a one stop shop for exciting developments within the Charity’s Arts and Heritage Group which was awarded National Lottery Heritage Fund cash to create Wolverhampton’s first Healthcare Heritage Centre. This is housed within Wolverhampton Central Library and features a unique display of medical artefacts.
Visitors can take a step back in time to explore Wolverhampton’s healthcare history, with some of the earliest items in the collection dating back to 1840. The current display features a collection of pharmaceutical items, a doctor’s desk set up, Midwifery memorabilia and an area dedicated to the Eye Infirmary.
Details of the Care, Create, Conserve project can be found along with news of upcoming events and the important work of heritage volunteers.
Amanda Winwood, Charity Development manager, said: “We are proud to unveil our new website which is jam packed with features to educate, engage and entertain as well as help supporters to get involved with our wide range of fundraising activities.
“There’s something for everyone – no matter how big or small a fundraising project or idea may be – and we’re always open to new ideas and meeting new people to help us carry on out our rewarding work. Our priority is to make a real difference to the lives of patients who use our services, and their families, with the help of our generous and compassionate communities. We hope people find the new website useful and informative and welcome any feedback.”
