Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity is one of the UK’s largest charitable foundations. We are an independent, place-based foundation who work with Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and other strategic partners to improve the health of people in the London boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark. We back new and innovative approaches to improving people’s health, sharing what we learn.

Through a combination of fundraising and our own philanthropic support derived from our Endowment, we help Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust provide exceptional care and a world-class environment for patients and staff at Guy’s, St Thomas’ and Evelina London Children’s Hospital, as well as in community health services across the boroughs.

Last year, we provided £15.4 million directly to the Trust, in the form of grants and other charitable funding, supporting a wide range of projects from expansion of Evelina London and a new Clinical Research Facility to providing patients in greatest need with basic clothing on discharge.
