We’re lucky to have Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust (ACT), which raises extra money to improve care, services, and research at Addenbrooke’s and The Rosie.

Your donations help the brilliant teams at Addenbrooke’s develop the innovative ideas that will make our great hospital even better.

  • Donations help our teams come up with new ideas and offer care beyond what the NHS can fund.
  • ACT funding helps us deliver faster improvements in patient care, beyond what NHS funding alone provides.
  • Donations support high-tech equipment, specialist staff, added comforts, and vital research that can save lives locally, nationally, and globally.

Any amount you can donate will help to make a difference.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, generous donations helped us raise £1 million for COVID-19 research. With this money, we were able to buy:

Thanks to your donations, we also bought:

  • A fourth incubator trolley to help save more babies
  • A liver perfusion machine for testing livers before transplant
  • A cone beam CT scanner for better surgery planning
  • An inflatable MRI scanner to help 1,200 children each year overcome their fears, leading to better results and less need for anaesthesia.
