Making a Donation

Our charity funds projects, that support and improve services for patients, which are usually outside the scope of the NHS. For example, extra equipment and research programmes. We couldn`t do this without the fantastic support of individual, groups and organisations. Your donation really does make a huge difference.

For special arrangements for donations during the Covid19 health emergency, see further details below.

Donations are also welcome to support specific patient departments and wards. Registered Charity Number 1048661.

Donating items or money to support the Covid19 health emergency

We have been overwhelmed with the generosity of our community in collecting funds and gifts for our staff, and we would like to thank everyone who has made a donation to us, either through our justgiving page, our donations team donations@stockport.nhs.uk or via people who are doing individual fund and donation raising in the community.

We have received several requests from members of the public to check whether items they have donated vis third parties have come in to our trust.  Unfortunately if you have donated through a third party, we are unable to verify whether this is valid.

Our only endorsed routes for donations are :
