Altogether, there are more than 250 different funds set up to support the Trust’s hospitals and community, specialist and primary care services across north, mid and eastern Devon. You can raise money for the specific hospital, ward or service that you choose to support. Or if you’d prefer, you can raise money for general funds and we’ll ensure the money is used by Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, wherever the need is greatest. Royal Devon Hospitals Charity continues to raise funds for the Fern Centre, North Devon’s purpose-built cancer and wellbeing centre, which provides cancer patients with free access to information, complementary therapies and counselling.
