Our charitable funds (UK registered charity: 1165788) make a huge difference to the experience of service users who are cared for in our hospital sites and community services across the North East and Cumbria. Charitable donations can provide the support for the extra things that would not be possible from the funding we receive from central government alone.
The SHINE fund is a key part of our charitable activity. The fund helps support people who use our services by providing the extra things that can make a real difference.
We are always incredibly grateful to anyone who raise funds for our SHINE Charity.

Two members of staff at St Nicholas Hospital in Gosforth have recorded a charity single which will be released to raise funds for our Trust's own Charity, SHINE. The song, which is called ‘Where Hope Begins’ was inspired by the end of the Covid pandemic which had a huge impact on the pair and the people they work alongside in the NHS.
Local housebuilder, Barratt Developments North East has donated an amazing £1,500 to the SHINE as part of the NHS 75 Anniversary this year.
"Sometimes the smallest of things can make a huge difference to patients. For example, board games purchased using money from SHINE are great for helping patients connect with staff or their families.”
"I always try my best to make a difference. I enjoy a challenge and thought I could combine a little physical activity to raise some money for Shine and for Brain Tumour Research. I’ve seen the impact that Shine has made, and it inspired me to think about how I could help".
