Northamptonshire Health Charitable Fund

NHCF are the registered charity for Northampton General Hospital and the Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trustm who aims to enhance patient experience beyond what the NHS can fund.

They exist to make things better for patients, their families and the staff who treat them by providing cash for important equipment, research and all the important extras that make our hospitals and community services so special.

How can I make a donation?

The volunteer service at NGH offers a vital buggy service to patients and visitors which makes an incredible 260 journeys per week. NHCF need to replace one of the older buggies so that the service is not suspended for good.

Unfortunately, they can’t have just an ordinary golf buggy due to the narrow corridors and tight corners in the hospital. So the buggy needed has to be made to measure for the hospital. NHCF are working with a company to build a bespoke buggy so that is it perfect for the job in hand. Having a buggy service at NGH means that not only patients and visitors, who are less able to walk the distance to appointments or to be with loved ones, are assisted, but the buggy also helps people feel less anxious about attending their appointments.

If you want to donate to this cause:

££ Cash ££ – At the cashiers office, Billing Road entrance to the hospital (please quote Volunteers Buggy)
