Trusts & Major Gifts
The Sick Children’s Trust has received the generous support of a wide-range of charitable trusts and grant-making bodies over nearly 30 years. This support is crucial in helping us to continue providing assistance to families at one of the most distressing times in their lives.
 
We are grateful that many trusts make donations to our general funds and in doing so help us to keep the doors to our existing ‘Homes from Home’ open. The support of trusts is also crucial in helping us achieve our ambition to expand our services by building more ‘Homes from Home’ at children’s hospitals around the UK.  

Current Appeals

Past Appeals

Successful recent fundraising campaigns helped by donations from charitable trusts include:
 
Stevenson House ExtensionWe received over £70,000 from trusts towards our recently completed £237,000 project to extend our ‘Home from Home’ at The Royal London Children’s Hospital in Whitechapel, which will allow us to support an additional 150 families every year.
 
The Big MoveWith the support of charitable trusts – to the tune of nearly £950,000 – it was possible to complete the £1.8m move of Eckersley House ‘Home from Home’ in Leeds to a larger facility at the Leeds General Infirmary.

Why Trusts support our work
The C Charitable Trust case study
We have received the backing of The C Charitable Trust towards two of our recent capital appeals. In 2009 the trust donated £10,000 towards 'The Big Move' - our project to relocate our 'Home from Home' in Leeds from St. James's University Hospital to a larger building next to Leeds General Infirmary. More recently, the trust has also given a further £10,000 towards our target of £414,000 for a new eight-bedroom 'Home from Home' at The Rosie Hospital in Cambridge, which will provide accommodation for the families of severely ill new born babies admitted to the soon-to-open extended neonatal unit for treatment.

"The C Charitable Trust (CCT) supports charities which demonstrate effective management and excellent outcomes for their service users. One of CCT’s main priorities is to support ill children and their families, which the Sick Children’s Trust excels in. CCT’s support of the Sick Children’s Trust’s recent capital appeals is the direct result of the Trust’s highly cost-effective fundraising, and of the extremely effective balancing of excellent business planning with measurable benefits for very ill children and their families.”  A spokesperson for the Trust.
We are continually looking to build new relationships with trusts and major benefactors who share our vision of keeping families together when a sick child is in hospital.
