How to help and donate

Why support our Covid19 Fund?

As our Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust staff work tirelessly to care for Covid 19 patients in Cornwall in the coming weeks and months we know that YOU want to show your support. Teams will work long arduous hours, putting themselves on the frontline as they care for our friends, family and loved ones. Many will spend time away from their own families to protect them from the infection and many we know will become ill themselves.

The Covid19 Fund, part of Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charity, will support the welfare of our teams now and in the recovery period of the Covid 19 pandemic. IT will also provide support for our patients and their families at this difficult time.

All donations are VERY gratefully received to the fund and will be used for our NHS staff. Please show them you are behind them, make a donation and leave a message to show your support.

On behalf of all our RCHT staff, thank you for your kindness and generosity. Donate here

A donation of £2.00 will buy one drink – of course you can donate more than one cup.

Your donation will purchase a drink and with the kind support of our friends at Mitie a small donation will also go to Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charity for the ongoing support of our hospitals.

Vouchers for drinks will be available for all staff caring for our patients at this time – RCHT colleagues, Housekeeping and Catering teams, Ambulance crew, volunteers and many more.

If you’re a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid means you can increase the value of your donation to our charity by 25p for every £1. In order for us to do this, you need to send us a Gift Aid declaration, and let us know when you’re making the donation. If you would like to complete a Gift Aid Declaration please click here, or email RCHT.Charity@nhs.net.

Why not ask them to make a donation to our Charity in lieu of a present at your party! We would be delighted to receive the donations in honour of your special day.

You can easily set up an online celebration fundraising page for friends and family to donate on Just Giving. This is a  safe and secure way to donate and it enables your friends and family to see other donations at a glance.

Create an online tribute page on Memory Giving

The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charity is registered with Memory Giving and your funeral director will be able to help you set up a tribute page dedicated to the memory of your loved one. Please visit the Memory Giving website for more details.

Create an ‘In Memory’ page on Just Giving

An online tribute to your loved one on JustGiving is a lovely way to leave a lasting memory with a photograph and a few special words. Friends and family can leave donations in lieu of flowers and messages of remembrance. This is a safe and secure way to donate and it enables your friends and family to see donations at a glance. You can make donations in memory at time, such as a special anniversary or birthday when you would like to remember your loved one. Visit Just Giving to set up your In Memory fundraising page.

Your legacy can provide gold standard care for patients in Cornwall. A legacy or bequest is a tax-free gift left to a charity in a Will. Charitable bequests are of enormous importance to our work.

Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charity is a proud member of Remember a Charity, which provides information and guidance about leaving a gift in your Will, after you’ve looked after family and friends. Please visit their website for more information.
