Welcome to the website for fundraising at Southend Hospital
Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation is an independent registered charity which raises money for major fundraising projects at Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
The Charitable Foundation was founded in 1998 to mark the 50th Anniversary of the NHS and continue the tradition upon which the hospital had been built. The trustees at the time, as today, were a group of local people who cared greatly about Southend and wanted to help enhance the services that the hospital could provide.
The Bosom Pals Appeal is the Charitable Foundation’s current appeal and they are delighted to be working in partnership with the Bosom Pals patient support group.
Southend Hospital is very fortunate to be surrounded by a generous and caring community. 
Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust helps more than 350, 000 patients each year. It is a busy district general hospital, providing a wide range of acute services and specialising in cancer care.
We receive a variety of support from many local charities, groups and individuals who give extra time and efforts to raise money for the Hospital. With their help we are able to provide additional services to patients and their families.
