WHO WE ARE

The Royal Free Charity (RFC) and the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust (RFL) work in partnership every day because together we can do what the NHS cannot achieve alone.

Today we help patients by supporting staff at all levels and investing in the physical and technical infrastructure of our hospitals, helping make care safer, more efficient, more effective and closer to home. Tomorrow we will help patients by funding life-saving and life-changing research aimed at finding cures and new treatments for diseases like type 1 diabetes, cancer and organ rejection following transplantation.

Patient support: Every patient is unique, with their own mix of concerns and considerations. We aim to provide services and support to reduce anxiety and make the experience the best it can be.

Hospital staff support: Those who care for others must be well supported themselves. We clear the path ahead for our hospital colleague so they can go further, faster for patients.

Major projects: The generosity our donors has enabled us to build a research facility, to open in 2021, which will find new treatments and cures for disease affecting millions of people worldwide like type 1 diabetes, cancer and organ rejection after transplantation.  

The generosity of our donors, fundraisers and volunteers enables us to do this.
