How We Can Support You
We’re proud to be your official NHS charity and we want to support you to go that extra mile. Together, we can help you excel for the patients and families you care for, and the colleagues you care about.
Apply for Funding
We support colleagues across NHS Lothian to help improve the care and experience of patients in our hospitals and local communities, enable innovation, and support initiatives that enhance wellbeing and develop the careers of NHS Lothian staff.
Staff Wellbeing and Professional Development
We recognise that a healthy and supported workforce leads to better patient care, better individual health and more efficient use of NHS resources. We want those who are caring for us, and those closest to us, to be at their very best. Supporting the wellbeing and development of NHS Lothian staff is therefore a key priority for us.
Receiving Donations
All gifts and donations must be properly managed and used for the purpose for which they are intended. If you are asked to accept a donation on behalf of your ward, department or service and are not sure what to do, get in touch by emailing: [email protected].
Charities and Fundraising Policy
NHS Lothian’s Charities and Fundraising Policy has been developed to provide NHS Lothian staff with clarity and guidance about fundraising or charitable support activities.
Raffles and Sweepstakes
Raffles and sweepstakes are a great way to raise money, especially over Christmas and New Year, because they are fun and easy to organise. Find out more about how to run a raffle or sweepstake.
