Oxford Health Charity exists to make a meaningful difference to the lives of patients, carers, families and staff across Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. We provide funding and support for projects that go above and beyond what the NHS can ordinarily provide, ensuring care environments and experiences are the best they can be. 

Our purpose is to provide funding for projects that:

• Enhance patient experience through initiatives that improve wellbeing and recovery
• Support staff welfare and create positive working environments
• Fund innovation and creative projects that transform care settings
• Engage communities to help people before, during and after their time with the Trust

Our principles are to fund what transforms care experiences, not replace NHS funding. This includes funding for:

• Therapeutic and creative activities for patients
• Equipment and resources that improve comfort and care
• Green spaces and wellbeing projects for staff and service users
• Large-scale improvements to Trust sites that create welcoming environments
