The Charity will continue to raise funds for significant capital and equipment projects at the hospital, but was not set up to fund revenue costs. The Charity has an excellent relationship with the Hospital NHS Trust and all projects are agreed with the Trust in advance. As medical technology develops, there are always items of new equipment that are required.
