Through fundraising and generous donations, we can enhance the NHS services delivered in your community, for the benefit of our patients, their families, and our staff. With your support, we are enriching health together.
Cornwall Community NHS Charity is the working name of Cornwall Partnership Foundation Trust Charitable Fund. We are registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. Our charity number is 1058366.
We changed our name in 2025, to reflect who we are, what we do, and where we do it. Through fundraising and generous donations, we can enhance the NHS services delivered in your community. This will benefit our patients, their families, and our staff. With your support, we are enriching health together.
Thank you for your support. It makes a huge difference to our patients, their families and our staff.
Charitable funds enable the Trust to invest in equipment, facilities, training, and projects that improve the health and wellness of NHS staff, patients, and volunteers, and reduce health inequalities in the workforce and the communities we serve.
The charity receives its income from legacies, grants, sponsorship or donations from patient's or their relatives who just want to say thank you for the care they have received. All the donations no matter how large or small are gratefully received and are a very important source of funds for us.
Some of the ways that charitable donations have helped to improve our services:
We enhance the experience of patients throughout their care journey, through the services we provide directly and the programmes and equipment we fund on the wards and in the community.
We support the wellbeing of Trust staff, collectively and individually, to enable them to deliver the best possible healthcare. We recognise and celebrate the dedication of our incredible workforce.
We support our research community to drive forward innovation. We lay the foundations for life-changing and life-saving research, improving care locally and science globally.
We propel our services beyond what NHS funding can achieve by securing the best available technology and equipment. By investing in the latest equipment, we facilitate earlier diagnoses and enable life-enhancing treatment.
You will find specific details of the grants that the charitable fund has made to the Trust in our annual report and accounts. The annual reports also contain details of the funds we hold.
