The Challenge...
Help us Deck the Wards this year with a fantastic fundraiser.
Your Support
Where your funds will go
Patients’ journeys can often see them engage with multiple departments and services within NHS Tayside. By donating to our unrestricted fund through Foundation 50, fundraisers and supporters make it an equitable fund for distribution across all wards and departments within NHS Tayside. Some wards, departments and services often receive a higher level of donation than others. Raising funds for the general fund allows the charity to equitably spread our support across wards, departments, services and community groups within the Tayside area. Helping people live better and longer lives.
Each year NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation funds a gift and greeting card for each and every patient in hospital on Christmas Day. The charity also provides funding for Christmas decorations for wards. Help us spread some festive cheer this year by taking part in a festive Foundation fundraiser.
