Raising funds to make Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust a world-class hospital

08/10/2026

Nearly 5,000 babies are born at Kingston Hospital every year, and behind each of those births is a clinical team prepared for every possibility. 💙

Thanks to Kingston Hospital Charity, that team now has access to Cell Salvage, a remarkable system that collects and cleans a woman's own blood during delivery so it can be safely returned to her if significant bleeding occurs.

Since its introduction, Cell Salvage has been used in 96 higher-risk obstetric cases. In around 70% of those cases, women received their own blood back during surgery, reducing the need for donor blood transfusions and supporting safer, more personalised care.

It is particularly significant for women who choose not to receive donor blood, including members of Kingston's Jehovah's Witness community, for whom this technology opens up delivery options that simply weren't available before.

This is what charitable funding makes possible.

October is Free Wills Month 💙

Kingston Hospital Charity's free will scheme runs all year round, giving supporters the opportunity to write or update their Will at no cost, with a participating solicitor.

There is no obligation to leave a gift, but for many people, it opens up a conversation about what they'd like their legacy to look like.

A gift in your Will to Kingston Hospital Charity, whatever its size, helps go above and beyond what NHS funding can provide.

Whether that means cutting-edge equipment, a research breakthrough, a beautifully refurbished space, or training that helps a nurse give exceptional care- your legacy helps our local hospital go beyond what NHS funding can do, and becomes part of something that lasts.

Small and large gifts are equally welcomed. Every one of them matters.

If you'd like to find out more about our free will scheme or about leaving a gift in your Will, we'd love to hear from you.

🌟 Walk This Way Fundraiser Shout Out 🌟

Zara Haider walked the full 15 miles and raised an amazing £1,202 for Kingston Hospital Charity.

Zara is a member of staff at Kingston Hospital. Her department, the Wolverton, benefited from a Kingston Hospital Charity-funded ultrasound machine, and she wanted to give something back.

"Kingston Hospital Charity supported my department and allowed us to purchase a new, much-needed ultrasound machine. Now I am giving something back."

Thank you, Zara, SO much!💙

Fundraising is still open if you’d like to support:

🌟 Walk This Way Fundraiser Shout Out 🌟
Some stories make everything feel worthwhile. 💙

Sally Butler walked for Walk This Way with us and raised a wonderful £1,375 for Kingston Hospital Charity.

Sally's reason for walking was:
"You will all know that I have a lot of love and care from this hospital. I want to give back and say thank you and help other patients like me."

Thank you for every penny you have raised Sally! 🌟 💙

🌟 Walk This Way Fundraiser Shout Out 🌟
Team goals. 💙

A huge congratulations and thank you to the RBKares Supporting the Community team: 15 walkers who came together for Walk This Way as a collective, raising an incredible £1,560 for Kingston Hospital Charity.

The team (Jane, Rog, Tess, Fele, Mathusa, Mayuran, Andrew, Kate, Cris, Jonathan, Hilary, Laura, Ian, Despo and Jon) walked to support specialist medical equipment that enhances diagnosis, improves treatment and ensures better care for patients at Kingston Hospital.

RBKares have supported Kingston Hospital many times before and we are so grateful for their continued donations, support and fundraising for our local hospital.

🌟 Walk This Way Fundraiser Shout Out 🌟

We have a very special shoutout to share today. 💙

Meena Bala is our Walk This Way top fundraiser- raising an incredible £4,151 for Kingston Hospital Charity, dedicated to the RITA technology programme supporting the hospital's dementia and delirium services.

Meena walked the 15-mile route alongside her daughter Anjali, in honour of her mother, Anjali's grandmother, who passed away from Alzheimer’s last December.

The RITA programme provides cognitive therapy to dementia patients through an interactive touch screen system, offering reminiscence content, films, games, music and the ability to receive messages from loved ones. It is exactly the kind of innovation that changes the experience of a hospital stay for some of our most vulnerable patients.

Meena and Anjali – thank you SO much! 💙
